Insanity on Stilts: Iraqi Official Claims ‘Trumpist Sleeper Cells’ Behind Rocket Attack
My latest in PJ Media: As insane as it is, this was inevitable: now the left’s fantasy about “terrorist Trump supporters” has gone international. Rockets hit coalition forces near Erbil International Airport in Iraq last Monday, killing a civilian contractor and a member of the U.S. military. The following day, Iraqi Sheikh Mohammad Al-Basry, […]
Biden’s handlers taking steps to stay in Iraq forever
This is one of the primary reasons why Trump is no longer president: he took on the military-industrial complex that finds these wars profitable. They proved too powerful and too well-connected to be defeated. And so now Americans will once again expend their blood and treasure in conflicts that cannot conceivably be solved by American […]
Iraqi official: ‘Trumpist’ sleeper cells behind rocket attack on Erbil airport, to drive wedge between US and Iran
Trumpist sleeper cells! You can just see them out there with their red MIGA hats, chanting “The election was stolen!” as they set off these rockets. This represents the first attempt to portray the supposed “right-wing terrorists” who support Trump as an international organization. It will almost certainly not be the last. PMU is Popular […]
Iraqi official says that contrary to rumors, top Shi’a cleric won’t sign Pope’s ‘human fraternity’ document
Apparently Ayatollah al-Sistani is a bit less disposed to be deceptive than the Sheikh of al-Azhar, Ahmed al-Tayeb. The “Document on Human Fraternity” that Pope Francis signed with al-Tayeb, and is aggressively pushing upon the Catholic Church, states that “the protection of places of worship – synagogues, churches and mosques – is a duty guaranteed […]
Iraq: Islamic group murders one, wounds eight in rocket attack on US base
The Guardians of Blood Brigade know, and the whole world knows, that the regime of Biden’s handlers is all about weakness and appeasement. And so it is time to step up jihad activity. “1 Killed, 8 Wounded in Rocket Attack on U.S. Base in Iraq,” by Qassim Abdul-Zahra, Associated Press, February 15, 2021: (BAGHDAD) — […]
Reuters flacks for endless wars: ‘In Saddam strongholds that fought America, Iraqis fear a U.S. departure’
With stories such as this, one must always ask, Cui bono? Who benefits? By now it should be abundantly clear to everyone that Reuters and its colleagues are not news outlets. They are organs for the propaganda of the political and media elites who want to keep America in Iraq, expending blood and treasure both […]
Iraq’s foreign minister enters talks with Iran to bring charges against Trump over killing of Soleimani
Under Biden, the Middle East is as turbulent as ever, with the Islamic State rising once again in Iraq and rogue Iran viewing a Biden administration as a pushover. Bad news for Western interests, and it’s likely to get worse. “High-level Iraqi delegation in Iran to talk trade, Soleimani,” by Maziar Motamedi, Al Jazeera, February […]
Pope Francis set to travel to Iraq to meet with Ayatollah Sistani, who called unbelievers unclean
Another fool’s errand in pursuit of the chimera of “dialogue” that has never solved anything or improved the conditions of any Christians in Muslim countries. Sistani has called disbelievers impure on the order of dogs, pigs, blood, etc. However, he has specifically exempted Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians from this. That’s great, but will Francis implore […]
Pentagon chief may increase number of US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq
And then there’s Syria. The new Pentagon chief says he might revise the numbers upward or downward, but upward seems to be a much more likely choice, given the requirements of the military-industrial complex. “Report: New Pentagon Chief Might Revise Number of Troops in Afghanistan, Iraq,” Fars News Agency, January 27, 2021 (thanks to Henry): […]
