Afghan and Syria I get, but Iraq? Unless Saudi and their proxies are willing to take their place (and hold it, which is debatable given their recent performance in Syria and Yemen), Iraq will eventually fall under the sway of Iran. I think its pretty clear that this move is cynically intended to complicate things for Biden.
