Say what you will about the shit job that the US military industrial complex has done in this region, but I can't help but feel that the real horror of the withdrawal is that 50% of the country's population is being condemned to what is essentially slavery.

Your concern is a valid one, but its hypocritical if the US Administration mentions that. Does not seem to be a concern when dealing with allies like Saudi Arabia as long as the oil keeps flowing.

Where is the US administration? Not a single press briefing or president communication for 48 hours...
