Iranian Militia Leader Leading Iraq U.S. Embassy Raid Listed as Obama White House Guest

Iranian militia leader Hadi al-Amiri, one of several identified as leading an attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday, reportedly visited the White House in 2011 during the presidency of Barack Obama.

I'm shocked (I'm not).

Sweet Connection, there. IF you’re cool with ISIS.

PS: Senator Mike Lee would vote to outlaw FISA. He says problems have been there, but finally became Public.

Wonder why this squirrel didn’t squeal when he first realized “Problems”?
(Lee, for H1 foreign workers Visa increases, we recall.)

reminder, from your link:

“Breitbart News reporter John Hayward reported in September of 2016:

On Tuesday, the Obama administration finally admitted something its critics had long suspected: The entire $1.7 billion tribute paid to Iran was tendered in cash — not just the initial $400 million infamously shipped to the Iranians in a cargo plane — at the same moment four American hostages were released.

“Treasury Department spokeswoman Dawn Selak said in a statement the cash payments were necessary because of the ‘effectiveness of U.S. and international sanctions,’ which isolated Iran from the international finance system,” said ABC News, relating what might be one of history’s strangest humblebrags. The sanctions Obama threw away were working so well that he had to satisfy Iran’s demands with cold, hard cash!

By the way, those sanctions were not entirely related to Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. As former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy pointed out at National Review last month, they date back to Iran’s seizure of hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, its support for “Hezbollah’s killing sprees,” and, most pertinently, Bill Clinton’s 1995 invocation of “federal laws that deal with national emergencies caused by foreign aggression,” by which he meant Iran’s support for international terrorism.”

Kimmitt: US embassy protest leaders part of govt, Iraqis should pull them back (Falih al-Fayyadh)
Talking about the Iraqi government in an interview with Al Arabiya, Kimmitt said: “They need to sit down and pull in the leaders of the protests, who are part of the Iraqi government - I’m referring to Hadi al-Amiri, Falih al-Fayyadh, I’m talking about the leaders of Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq - they need to sit down and tell them that this kind of behavior inside Iraqi sovereign territory is unacceptable. They need to calm their people down and pull them back.”
