US hasn't decided on Iraq withdrawal, Pentagon says, calling general's letter a mistake

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon's top two officials distanced themselves Monday from an American general in the Middle East whose letter to Iraq's government announced the U.S. "will be repositioning forces" in response to its demand that the U.S. leave the country.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper said no decision has been made to pull U.S. troops from Iraq.

Esper was responding to an unsigned letter from Marine Corps Brig. Gen. William H. Seely III, addressed to Iraq’s defense ministry, saying the U.S.-led coalition is preparing to reposition troops in "deference to the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq.”

On Sunday, the Iraqi parliament voted to expel U.S. military forces from the country.
