Mattis in Baghdad to confirm military assistance, not ‘seize Iraqi oil’
From Rudaw.net-Erbil
20-02-2017 - ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – US Secretary of Defense James Mattis arrived in Baghdad on Monday on an unannounced visit, reportedly meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and a number of officials to reaffirm his country's military assistance to Iraq in the fight against ISIS.
Mattis' visit to Baghdad comes on the second day of the Iraqi army's resumption of a military offensive to reclaim western Mosul from ISIS.
Before he arrived in Baghdad, Mattis said his country was not here to seize Iraqi oil. US President Donald Trump said during elections campaigns that America should have taken Iraq’s oil after 2003 and, had they done so, it would have prevented the emergence of ISIS.
It has remained unknown whether or not Mattis will visit the Kurdistan Region.
Kurdish President Masoud Barzani and Mattis held an hour-long meeting on the sidelines of the 53rd Munich Security Conference in the German Bavarian capital on Friday. This was the first such meeting between top Kurdish and US officials since the new administration took office in the White House.   
Mattis has previously served in Iraq; he most notably led the US Marines into battle in the Iraqi city of Falluja in April 2004
