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.
On Tuesday, a mob in Baghdad attacked the U.S. embassy in retaliation against last weekend’s U.S. airstrikes against the Iran-backed Shiite militia Kataib Hezbollah (KH), responsible for killing an American civilian contractor. KH is one of a number of pro-Iran militias that make up the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF/PMU), which legally became a wing of the Iraqi military after fighting the Sunni Islamic State terrorist group.
President Donald Trump has since accused Iran of having “orchestrated” the embassy attack and stated that the government would be “held fully responsible.”
Breitbart News reporter John Hayward described the attack on the embassy, writing:
The mob grew into thousands of people, led by openly identified KH supporters, some of them wearing uniforms and waving militia flags. The attack began after a funeral service for the 25 KH fighters killed by the U.S. airstrikes. Demonstrators marched through the streets of Baghdad carrying photos of the slain KH members and Iraq’s top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, who condemned the American airstrikes.
KH vowed to seek revenge for the airstrikes on Monday. Both KH and the Iranian military unit that supports it, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), have been designated as terrorist organizations by the U.S. government. The government of Saudi Arabia also described KH as one of several “terrorist militias supported by the Iranian establishment” in remarks on Tuesday condemning the assault on the U.S. embassy.
The attackers were able to smash open a gate and push into the embassy compound, lighting fires, smashing cameras, and painting messages such as “Closed in the name of resistance”

Thanks.
Since we’re on the topic.
Every country we send foreign aid to, is a potential source of corrupt kickbacks.
In fact, it is difficult to believe there is a country where corruption is not prevalent.
It is a mystery to me how the money is laundered.
We have in Ukraine / Burisma a model of how it works.
I was interested in your theory of Ukraine being the money laundering hub of all corruption or is it distributed around the globe?
Anyway, Happy New Year!
“Iranian Militia Leader Leading Iraq U.S. Embassy Raid Listed As Obama White House Guest”
Another of the big three leaders participating in the demonstration/attack on our embassy in Iraq today, was Qais al Khazali, who was released from US custody in Iraq by Obama (as also was Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, who later took over the group formerly known as al Queda in Iraq, and made them into ISIS).
: )
That’s what you are being led to believe.
If they know, it is gossip or misdirection
Unlikely since most of them were on Hasan Nemazee’s payroll from Obama on down until Nemazee ended up in jail for bank fraud.
When Putin or RT confirms it we’ll let you know. That’s the evidence you are looking for, isn’t it? Is there a reason to believe some other party hanging out beyond the Hezbollah lines fired the rocket?
The American was killed by a rocket fired from a KH position.
.................................................l
Yeah, I know whats being reported...where is the evidence that is what occurred?
**************************************************************
You do understand that we have deployed with our forces technology that detects and tracks incoming rocket and artillery fire and determines the point of origin of that incoming fire? And we have intelligence on known HK (and other potentially hostile actors) positions? Put the these two pieces of information together and they figure it out.
Any jihadist with a Toyota and a grudge could have fired those rockets.
Whoever provided the “intelligence” you’re referring is also a likely suspect.
For anyone who’s been paying attention, we’ve seen this movie before.

So this begs many questions. Four simple ones come to mind.
One, how many terrorists visited Obama in the White House?
Two, just how many terrorists does Obama know? My count is up to four.
Three, how does this compromise the security of the White House?
Four, just how much national security information has Obama dispensed to terrorists?
I don’t think these are unreasonable questions.
