Iraq: US troops leaving Syria have no approval to stay

[Aljazeera] US forces that crossed into Iraq as part of a pullout from northeastern Syria do not have permission to stay and can only be there in transit, Iraq's military said.

An Iraqi statement on Tuesday contradicted the Pentagon's announcement that all of the nearly 1,000 troops withdrawing from northern Syria are expected to move to western Iraq to continue the campaign against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, or ISIS) and "to help defend Iraq".

"All US forces that withdrew from Syria received approval to enter the Kurdish region so that they may be transported outside Iraq. There is no permission granted for these forces to stay inside Iraq," the statement said.

#6 Around here ROE means Rules of Engagement...

Iraq's military said.

How fortunate that Iraq’s military is still ruled by Iraq’s civilian government. It remains to be seen what the prime minister will decide.
