U.S. President Donald Trump said he’s inclined to leave a base and troops in Iraq to "watch" Iran even as he dials down U.S. military presence in the region, and that he doesn’t believe his intelligence chiefs who say Iran is abiding by the nuclear deal that the U.S. exited.
"I disagree with them," Trump said in an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation, adding that the intelligence community was wrong about former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction ahead of the second Gulf War.
"Those intel people didn’t know what the hell they were doing, and they got us tied up in a war that we should have never been in,"
