An Iraqi Shi'ite militia group said on Friday it would attack U.S. interests in Iraq and the region if Washington carries out a military strike on Syria.
President Barack Obama said on Friday the United States was still in the planning process for a response to the chemical weapons use in Syria.
"All their interests and facilities in Iraq and the region will be targeted by our militants if the United States insists on attacking Syria," a spokesman for the Iraqi militia group al-Nujaba'a told Reuters by telephone, without giving details.
Al-Nujaba'a is an umbrella group which includes Iraqi Shi'ite militants who have crossed into neighboring Syria to fight alongside troops loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Assad is from the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam.
The group includes fighters of the Asaib al-Haq and Kata'ib Hezbollah militias and the Mehdi army militia of anti-U.S. Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, which was mostly disbanded after its defeat by Iraqi and U.S. forces in 2008.

“You’re doing a heckuva job, Barack.”
Everyone is always promising to hit us if we do this or do that. Maybe we should just kill everyone who talks sh*t like this for now on.
oh wait...we are!
It is amusing how so many Middle East dictators rattle their sabers. If the secret to military victory is the surprise element, they appear to be basically just losers.
Muslim hyperbole (Mother of all battles, rivers of blood!) is like the flying car... it makes for interesting articles but it never really delivers.
Are they pretending to not know that Hussein already supports the Sunnis?
They all hate us anyhow
So let’s drop the big one now
0bama is getting a free pass on this unilateral attack.

We were supposed to leave 10,000 combat troops in Iraq, but Obama pulled them.
Boy if this ain’t like some Three Stooges routine. Moe smacks Larry, Larry smacks Curly and Curly comes around to smack Moe but hesitates and then lets Larry have it. If we attack Syria, Iraq attacks us and Syria lets Israel have it. Nyuck, nyuck!.
