at a “time and in a manner of our choosing

That is lifted directly from a speech by Pres. George W. Bush in the immediate aftermath of the attacks on 9/11/01. Following is quoted verbatim from Bush's speech at the National Cathedral during the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance on 9/14/01:

This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others. It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing.

This brigade ( though Shia and therefore with some ties to Iran) has a history of cooperating with the Iraqi govt ( most members are Iraqi) and the Peshmerga Kurds against ISIS, a common enemy. Looks like the US went in and destroyed their weapons.

ISIS must have helped prepare the target list.

Iraqi parliament member Mustafa Sanad:

Whenever news from the White House claims that US airstrikes are directed against Iranian-backed armed factions that targeted US bases in the region, and that these airstrikes are effective, be sure they are fake news.

All of the strikes are aimed at Iraqi national forces associated with the Popular Mobilization Forces, an official government entity.”
