‘I’m a Little Upset!’ Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade Knocks Trump for Pulling US Forces From Iraq

Fox News' Brian Kilmeadeadmitted he's a "little upset" with President Donald Trumpafter he pulled remaining U.S. troops out of Iraq.

Kilmeade was joined on The Brian Kilmeade Show  by Republican strategist Karl Roveon Wednesday, and both pushed back on pulling troops from Iraq while the Iran war continues.

"I tell you, I'm a little upset we're pulling out of Iraq again. I know it was Joe Biden'sschedule. I understand it. I know it costs money, but it's the wrong message. When the Iran thing is settled, that's when you make your decision, but now the militias are still armed. Those are the ones who blew up a Saudi pipeline! So what is the Baghdad government going to do to stop the Shia militias in Iraq?" Kilmeade said.

"The Shia militias have now got a lot more sophisticated weaponry. Where are they getting it from? Afghanistan, from what we left behind when Biden pulled us out of Bagram ," Rove added.

Other experts on both sides of the aisle have also questioned leaving Iraq completely, including former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who noted this week the ties that the Iranian regime has to terror groups in Iraq and elsewhere.

"I worry about this kind of decision when we're still in the middle of a war with Iran. The fact is that these militias have conducted, I think, something like 600 attacks on U.S. military. They're supported by Iran, they're armed by Iran, what I worry about with this decision is that we are handing Iraq over Iran," Panetta told CNN.

Meanwhile, Trump, a longtime critic of the Iraq War, has celebrated troops leaving Iraq after 23 years a "victory" for the country.

"It's been a long time with very bad decision-making that got us involved in this quagmire in the first place. It was a quagmire. For many, many years it lasted. But soon that part of history will be over," Trump said, questioning the decision to enter Iraq in the first place and declaring, "We're getting the hell out of there."
