U.S. sway dwindles in Iraq

Iraq is no longer following the US in decision making and government guidance anymore. Instead, they are looking to Iran. This causes doubt as to what will happen after all the involvement of the US with Iraq, including 4400 soldiers. The weak voice of the US is giving Iraq more influence over its region. The less troops there are, the less power the US has, and the number of troops has plummeted. So now Iraq is blowing off US warnings to not rush into any government set up that might cater to Iran. However, they cannot ignore the US completely because of the military aid that we are supplying.
