Elijah J. Magnier

The #US criminal attack on #Iraq was (exactly) inspired by the suggestion of "The Washington Institute" in this Carnegie article.https://twitter.com/ejmalrai/status/1206643818759688193 …

Those calling the #US aggression on "kataeb Hezbollah" as " an attack against Iranian proxies" are deliberately omitting they are part of the 45 and 46 brigades of the Iraqi security forces integrated under the direct command of the #Iraq Prime Minister @AdilAbdAlMahdi.

It is not a coincidence for the #US to hit a position of the Iraqi forces on al-Qaem, the same position where #Israel target killing an Iraqi commander a few months ago (Israel used #US air force base in east #Syria). The US was angry with Iraqi PM for opening al-Qaem crossing.

#US selection of al-Qaem is a clear message to #Iraq #Syria & #Iran, far from responding to the killing of a civ contractor 2 days ago in Kirkuk. US jets bombed 5 positions: 3 in Iraq and 2 in #Syria. Iran never reacts but chose the response according to its own timing & location

Keep in mind one question: Why the #US bombed #Iraq security forces positions based along the borders with #Syria to monitor and disrupt #ISIS movement towards Iraq?https://twitter.com/ejmalrai/status/1211532547437584384 …

#Iraq/i Natl sec council lead by @AdilAbdAlMahdi is meeting now to discuss the presence of #US forces who committed a crime against Iraqi sec forces killing 35 officers &wounding 45.These Iraqi come from 1000s of km away from home to fight #ISIS & prevent its crossing from #Syria

If the #US refuse to withdraw from #Iraq once the decision has been taken, the situation will turn ugly, particularly when @realDonaldTrump has an election ahead. US is supposed to be a host in #Iraq to fight terrorism. It has committed a crime and 'proudly' recognised it.
