      Make no mistake - this is bigger than taking out Osama Bin Laden.

          The US has apparently gone all-in tonight: according to rumours in Baghdad (and regional reports), Qais al-Khazali and Hadi al-Ameri have been arrested by US forces - these are two of Iraq’s most powerful militia heads.

          The US is just getting started: Asaib ahl al-Haq has been listed as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Mark Esper wasn’t kidding when he said the US will carry out pre-emptive strikes on Iran’s proxies.pic.twitter.com/iXeRFkFKds

          Right? The audacity to suggest taking out an Iranian general is bigger than taking out the mastermind behind 9/11?

          The exact opposite. This could very well start not just a war with Iran, but also with Iraq itself. This is EXCEPTIONALLY incendiary.
