LEADER OF ATTACK ON U.S. EMBASSY THIS WEEK VISITED OBAMA WHITE HOUSE IN 2011

 Quote:


An Iran-linked Iraqi official who was spotted in the crowd of angry militia supporters and protesters Tuesday as some of them stormed the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad visited the Obama White House back in 2011.
Hadi Al-Amiri's presence at the scene of the embassy attack -- where crowds chanted “Down, Down USA!” following U.S. airstrikes that killed fighters of an Iranian-backed militia -- underscores how the figure once seen as a potential partner is now viewed by the U.S. government as a dangerous Iran proxy.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pointedly called him out in a tweet accusing him of aiding "terrorists" in the embassy attack.

"All are pictured below outside our embassy," he wrote.

Amiri, Iraq’s former transportation minister and a member of the Iraqi parliament, was spotted among the supporters of the Kataib Hezbollah militia.

The Washington Post reported Amiri’s presence at the protests outside the embassy, saying he was "in attendance." The Associated Press also reported that Amiri was among the “commanders of militia factions loyal to Iran” who “joined the protesters outside the embassy in a strikingly bold move.”

Amiri leads the Badr Corps, one of the largest pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, and is part of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), which is the larger network of Shiite militias.

Yet in 2011, Amiri accompanied former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and several other top Baghdad advisers on a high-profile visit to the Obama White House timed with the official wind-down of U.S. military involvement in Iraq.

Amiri’s inclusion in the trip to Washington raised eyebrows at the time due to his involvement and ties to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which backed the Badr Corps at the time and had been linked to several attacks on Western targets. During the rule of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, Amiri served as a commander of the Badr Corps, which, at the time, had been the military wing of the Supreme Council of Iraq.

The Obama White House downplayed Amiri’s visit, pointing out that even the Bush administration reached out to Iraqis who were close to the Iranian government during Saddam’s rule. The Obama administration had taken a tough stance against the IRGC, with the Treasury Department, at the time, slapping sanctions on Iranian military officials, but Amiri’s involvement in the high-profile trip seemed to clash with their efforts.


David Bossie, president of Citizens United and a former 2016 Trump campaign official, tweeted Thursday that it appears former Vice President Joe Biden also was part of the 2011 session. He posted State Department records listing Biden – along with Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – as among the participants meeting with the Iraqi delegation.



It is unclear what Amiri’s level of involvement was in the siege at the embassy earlier this week, where hundreds of protesters stormed the embassy compound, which is one of the most heavily fortified U.S. diplomatic missions in the world.

The violent siege, which included smashed windows and sprayed graffiti on the embassy’s wall, was said to be in protest of the deadly U.S. airstrikes which targeted the Kataib Hezbollah militia last weekend and killed 25 fighters. Those strikes had been in response to a rocket attack on an Iraqi Army base that killed a U.S. contractor and injured several American troops.

Elsewhere, demonstrators could be seen hurling rocks over the walls of the embassy compound before U.S. troops responded by firing tear gas from the roofs of the buildings.

The Popular Mobilization Forces, an umbrella group of state-allied militias — many backed by Iran — called on its supporters to withdraw in response to an appeal by the Iraqi government, saying “your message has been received.”

The protest, which ended late Wednesday, prompted the Pentagon to send hundreds of additional troops to the Middle East. During the height of the protests late Tuesday, more than 100 U.S. Marines arrived at the embassy to bolster security as President Trump denounced the actions of protesters, vowing the situation in Baghdad “will not be a Benghazi.”

Iran has denied any involvement in the attack on the embassy. Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi was quoted by state media on Tuesday as warning the U.S. against any “miscalculation” in the worsening standoff.

State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" on Wednesday that the militiamen and their supporters are "not protesters."

"These were terrorists that are organized, trained and equipped by the Iranian regime," she said.

The U.S. and Iran have sought influence over Iraq since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled the Hussein reign. Iran has close ties to Iraq’s Shiite majority and many of its major political factions. Its influence has steadily grown since then.

Iran helped to mobilize tens of thousands of mostly Shiite militiamen to battle the Islamic State group when it stormed across northern and western Iraq in 2014 as the armed forces collapsed. In the subsequent campaign against the extremists, the U.S. and Iran both provided vital aid to Iraqi forces, who eventually declared victory in December 2017.

The political influence of the Iran-backed militias has risen in recent years, and their allies dominate the parliament and the government.

In addition to deploying additional troops to the Middle East, the Trump administration has also updated its travel warning for Iraq.

"On December 31, 2019, the Embassy suspended public consular services, until further notice, as a result of damage done by Iranian-backed terrorist attacks on the Embassy compound,” the State Department said Thursday.




Gee, why am I suspicious of Democrats and regard them as Bolshevik enemies of our Constitiutional republic?

Lt. Col. Douglas MacGregor is someone I wish was in Trump's white house or security council. He says that the airstrikes the protests were in response to were a mistake, that Trump (after wisely resisting previous attacks on Iran and its proxy meilitias in Iraq) took bad advice to bomb Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias, who despite their ties to Iran, were killing Sunni ISIS fighters.

MacGregor's advice is for Trump and the U.S. to simply withdraw, and let the Sunnis and Shias kill each other, "as they have for a thousand years" without us.

I'm not so sure the "protests" were the result of any airstrike. I think they thought they could do the "we got mad over a YouTube video" con that they tried in Benghazi.

Yeah, it was just the latest excuse to rage on America.
And the Democrats and liberal media chimed right in, repeating their lying talking points.

I watched several generals and other officers talk about the fact that these Shi'ite Iranian trained militias were killing ISIS fighters for a few years, but now with ISIS for the most part gone, they were (with Iran's backing) increasingly targeting Americans. And about 60% of Iraq (like Iran) is pro-Iranian Shi'ite, so of course they hate us.
The fact is, it was a U.S. air-strike to retaliate for the death of a U.S. military contractor. And that was on top of any number of Iranian provocations over the last two years, and really the last 40 years, where they shot down a U.S. drone, mine-bombed ships in the Persian gulf, and (back when Obama was president) seized a U.S. military ship and held its crew at gunpoint on video for the world to see. Along with seizing multiple ships from Japan and other U.S. allies, with either directly killing U.S. soldiers, or more indirectly supplied the training, weapons and IED explosives. IED bombs or training that killed and maimed thousands of U.S. soldiers over the last 18 years or so.

So... no one can say that there was not provocation from Iran, or that Trump has not resisted many provocations to escalate into a war with Iran.

I actually see the wisdom of Trump. In not starting another costly war, that the Iranian government is under sanctions that are destroying their economy, an Iranian islamic government that is increasingly unpopular, might just be voted out of office if Trump continues the crippling sanctions until their next election.
And a new more pro-western elected Iran government could just hand over their nuclear program for dismantlement, without the U.S. starting a war that could rally support for an otherwise unpopular government.

Great follow-up news:

Trump orders attack that kills Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani, other military officials in Baghdad, Pentagon says



This Iranian general is personally responsible for the deaths of so many Americans. Also significant that he was killed in Baghdad and not somewhere in Iran, making clear Soleimani's actions at the time of his death were offensive, orchestrating actions hostile to U.S. and Iraqi forces.

Yeah, and long overdue. Soleimani has been in in charge of Iran's Quds force since 1998. He's been responsible for the armored vehiclee-piercing roadside bombs that have killed about 650 U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, and injured or maimed about 2,000 more. He's led the Iran-sponsored terrorism throughout the Middle East region, and is responsible for tens of thousands of other Arab deaths.
Long overdue.

I love how a month ago Democrats like Adam Schiff and Joseph Biden were pissing all over themselves that Trump was compromising security in Syria by removing U.S. forces (this would be the same Syria that Obama let ISIS run wild in for 3 years of his administration, where these same Democrats said nothing?)
And now whiplash-flipping 180 degrees opposite, these same Democrats are hysterical that Trump is over-reacting with excessive force that will get the U.S. "into another war". By Trump simply responding to decades of escalating provocation by Iran, and taking out Gen. Soleimani, the guy responsible, who has been a designated terrorist since 2005. Democrats Murphy, Schiff and Biden have all made irresponsible comments, that could just as easily have been an Iran/Quds Force press release.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quds_Force


 Quote:
The Quds Force (Persian: سپاه قدس‎ sepāh-e qods)[4] is a unit in Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) specializing in unconventional warfare and military intelligence operations. Responsible for extraterritorial operations,[5] the Quds Force supports non-state actors in many countries, including Lebanese Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, Yemeni Houthis, and Shia militias in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan.[5]

Analysts estimate the Quds has 10,000–20,000 members.[6] The Quds Force reports directly to the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei.[7][8] It was commanded by Major General Qasem Soleimani until he was killed by a U.S. drone strike at Baghdad International Airport on 3 January 2020.[9][10][11] Brigadier General Esmail Ghaani was appointed as commander of the Quds Force on the same day.[12]


In Lebanon, Gaza Strip, West Bank, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. That's a lot of Quds-led bodies piling up in a lot of places.
And by the map provided, they likely have terrorist cels in Turkey, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Europe, Russia, North Africa and North America.

The official word from Mike Pompeo is that the Soleimani killing was done now to prevent a planned escalation of Quds Force-orchestrated attacks on U.S. targets. So Murphy, Schiff and Biden can take their comments and go straight to hell.

I have to admit, I don't like it that Trump wildly speculated just to undermine a then-Democrat president Obama. The president should have free reign to do the right thing, without external pressure. And if they act with deceitful ulterior motives, then the people can vote them out in the next election.

I just listened to Hannity say four times in the same show in the last hour, "Democrats would impeach Trump even if he cured cancer." It's an idiotic thing to say and not funny, it wasn't funny the first time he said it, or any more funny the other three times he repeated it in the same show. I like discussion of facts, not wild speculation about things that never happened, or will happen.

It's much more lucid to say factually that Obama made a bad nuclear deal with the Iranians, that still allowed them to get nukes within 10 years. And that Trump made a good decision to get out of that deal. Or that Obama secretly gave pallets of cash to Iran, that would be, and has been, used to sponsor Iranian terrorism. By General Soleimani, the guy Trump ordered killed last night. Those are cold hard facts.

I love how Democrats are now wildly fearmongering that Trump has caused an imminent backlash by the Iranians, that will get Americans killed. When the Truth is, Trump acted based on intelligence to pre-emptively take out terrorists who were planning an attack, and were in Baghdad (not Iran) precisely to organize an attack. Even if Iranians plan another attack, Trump prevented this set of attacks.

TOP DEMOCRATS SLAMMED FOR THEIR "YEAH, BUT..." REACTIONS TO SOLEIMANI AIRSTRIKE


 Quote:
Prominent Democrats are being criticized for what has been perceived as their "yeah, but" reactions to the U.S. airstrike that led to the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani that include condemnation of President Trump's order of the takedown.

Statements from several 2020 Democratic candidates, including former Vice President Joe Biden, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., all condemned Soleimani as a murderous terrorist but included a "but" expressing disapproval of Trump's actions.

"No American will mourn Qassem Soleimani's passing. He deserved to be brought to justice for his crimes against American troops and thousands of innocents throughout the region," Biden said. "The Administration's statement says that its goal is to deter future attacks by Iran, but this action almost certainly will have the opposite effect. President Trump just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox, and he owes the American people an explanation of his strategy and plan to keep safe our troops and embassy personnel, our people and our interests ... "

"There is no question that Qassim Suleimani [sic] was a threat to that safety and security, and that he masterminded threats and attacks on Americans and our allies, leading to hundreds of deaths. But there are serious questions about how this decision was made and whether we are prepared for the consequences," Buttigieg similarly stated.

"Soleimani was a murderer, responsible for the deaths of thousands, including hundreds of Americans. But this reckless move escalates the situation with Iran and increases the likelihood of more deaths and new Middle East conflict. Our priority must be to avoid another costly war," Warren tweeted.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg also made similar statements.



WASHINGTON POST BLASTED FOR REFERRING TO QASSIM SOLEIMANI AS IRAN'S 'MOST REVERED MILITARY LEADER'



Top lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., offered familiar responses to the airstrike.


"Soleimani was responsible for unthinkable violence and world is better off without him. But Congress didn’t authorize and American people don’t want a war with Iran," Schiff tweeted. "All steps must now be taken to protect our forces against the almost inevitable escalation and increased risk."

"Soleimani was a terrible man who caused terrible violence in the world, but Congress did not authorize the President to start a war and we must work to prevent an escalation, which this attack may provoke. The American people must have their safety and their security protected," Nadler wrote.

Members of the mainstream media struck a similar tone.

"Soleimani was at the height of his power when he was taken out. But it's not the person you take out, it’s what they leave behind. Al Qaeda didn't end with the death of Bin Laden. ISIS didn't end with the death of Baghdadi. Critical to know strategy for next steps," CNN's chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour said,

"No question that Soleimani has a lot of blood on his hands. But this is a really frightening moment. Iran will respond and likely in various places. Thinking of all US personnel in the region right now," MSNBC analyst Ben Rhodes reacted.

Critics panned the overwhelming "but" reactions that poured in.

"If you have to have a 'yeah, BUT' structure to your comments about something like the death of Soleimani, you might want to check your tone and your entire argument as it's proof that it's rather callous and partisan," NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News.

Houck added, "Just think of the unity in 2011 after the death of Usama bin Laden and then see how things have changed in 2020 as liberal politicians and their media allies have been left gnashing their teeth, parroting Iranian and Russian talking points about this having been not only illegal but an 'assassination.'"

The "Sure Soleimani was bad BUT takes we are going to get are going to be magnificent. I can't wait," Washington Free Beacon senior writer David Rutz predicted Thursday night.

“'Yes, he killed over six hundred American soldiers was trying to kill more, but...' isn’t the brilliant take that half of liberal twitter seems to think it is," author James Hasson tweeted.

I didn’t even post all the tweets by Trump saying anything that tried to weaken Obama for Trump’s own political benefit when it came to possible military actions with Iran specifically. I think Obama consistently tried to do the right thing for the country and it was always going to be the worst thing for Trump and his fans. You may not have liked Trump’s tweets but i think it’s fair to say you found them to be acceptable enough to vote for him. Let me know of any democrat that is going as low as Trump did and does. Than I would ask why it matters more when they do what Trump does. Trump set a low standard here. And I don’t think we’ve hit bottom yet.

Okay, that is such an outrageous lie, it's the equivalent of insulting my mother in how offensive and deceitfully opposite the truth it is.

Barack Obama is a cultural marxist revolutionary, who spent his entire adult life in the company of anti-American and Marxist radicals, from at least his college years right on through his 8 years in the White House. As I've sourced and linked here in probably thousands of posts.
http://archive.discoverthenetworks.org/summary.asp?object=Persons&category=

Obama's own parents and grandparents, Frank Marshall Davis, William Ayers, Rashid Khalidi, Derrick Bell. And in his administration Valerie Jarrett, Van Jones, Anita Dunn, Mark Lloyd, Ron Bloom, Cass Sunstein, to name just a few marxist radicals he employed. People who routinely quoted Mao Tse Tung, Saul Alinsky, Che Gueverra, Hugo Chaves and other marxists.

Barack Obama employed lawyers in his Justice Department who just prior to joining DOJ were activists for illegal immigrants, deliberately undermining U.S. border security, and once in DOJ were moles destroying our national security from within. Marxist radicals, muslim radicals, and more broadly just anti-American radicals, all in Obama's employ as president.

Barack Obama's stated intention was to "radically transform America". From a constitutional republic into an authoritarian socialist state. Obama's core ideology, visible in his own public statements, biography and other writings is:
1) Cultural Marxism to seize the culural pillars of democracy in government, media, education and law, to undermine and collapse Western democracies and replace them with marxist governments,
2) liberation theology the belief that all Western European nations are inherently racist and built on the suffering of people of color, and therefore only a crippling of European nations' power and transfer of their wealth can compensate for past wrongs, and those reparations are never-ending,
and
3) anti-colonialism, again anti-white/anti-European ideology, wanting to crush the last vestiges of European/U.S. power globally, which you can plainly see in Obama's collapse of U.S. power in Egypt and the Middle East, supporting the "Arab Spring" that enabled that collapse, destroying technological superiority of our military (i linked an article in 2008 citing those exact words, and thanks to Obama our militaary during his presidency did lost that technological edge to Russia and especially China), slashing our military to dangerous levels of unpreparedness, and using the BP oil spill to ban U.S. offshore drilling, to allow transfer of those offshore sites and deep-water drilling equipment to Mexico and Brazil (i.e., to nations of color).

There is absolutely no way you can miss the anti-American bent of Barack Obama's ideology over his entire lifetime, which certainly continued throughout his entire 8 years as president. Absolutely beyond question.

The Iran deal further collapsed U.S. power, and even Obama himself admitted that the $150 billion given as a payoff to Iran would be in all likelihood used to wage terrorism against the U.S. and against other nations. That could certainly never be mistaken as Obama "consistently tried to do the right thing" for the U.S.

Because Trump voters can see the facts, and are not blinded by liberal ideology. It is absolutely beyond question these radical ideologies are Obama's core beliefs visible in his lifelong writings and public statements, and Obama's actions as president. Only liberal public deception or self-delusion could hide this fact in Obama's own words and actions. Not by accident, but by design.

ON TWITTER, TRUMP ISSUES HARSH WARNING TO IRAN AGAINST FURTHER REPRISALS

 Quote:
President Donald Trump said Saturday that the U.S. has identified 52 Iranian targets that will be struck “very fast and very hard” if the Islamic regime seeks revenge for the airstrike that killed Qasem Soleimani, the leader of the Quds Force.

  • “Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recently….”

    “— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2020 ”


“Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have … targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD,” Trump tweeted.

“The USA wants no more threats!” he added.



“We can’t just close our eyes to what happened last night. Definitely there will be revenge, a harsh revenge,” Majid Takht Ravanchi, the ambassador, told CNN’s Erin Burnett Friday.

Trump ordered the strike Thursday against Soleimani near the Baghdad airport. Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the leader of Kata’ib Hezbollah, a terrorist group linked to Iran, was also killed in the strike.

Trump said Friday that he ordered the strike because Soleimani was preparing an “imminent” attack against U.S. interests in the Middle East. The State Department has said that Soleimani, 62, was responsible for the deaths of 603 U.S. service members since 2003.

Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell said Friday that Iran is likely to try to kill an American government official or American civilians as part of a tit-for-tat in response to the Soleimani strike.


Michael Morelli might just as well have been wearing a HILLARY 2016 campaign button when he said that on MSNBC.

On Fox News today, it was pointed out that Soleimani's being killed outside the Baghdad airport, on the same road where Soleimani's roadside IED bombs have killed so many U.S. soldiers, could be seen as symbolic.
