The Iraqi Parliament has just passed a resolution calling for all American troops -– there are now 5,000 in Iraq — to be withdrawn from the country. I quite agree. We should never have entered Iraq in the first place, but left Saddam, monstrous as he was, as a counterweight to the just as monstrous, […]
Iraq: MPs scream “Allahu akbar” after voting to expel US forces from the country
This vote was a foregone conclusion, since Iraq has had a weak Shi’ite government dominated by the Islamic Republic of Iran ever since the toppling of Saddam Hussein. And the MPs are right: we should leave Iraq and everywhere our troops are without any defined mission or goal. Watch the historic moment Iraqi parliament passes […]

Obama welcomed leader of attack on US embassy in Baghdad to the White House in 2011
This is what happens when you insist that Islam is a religion of peace and demonize and marginalize those who point out that it is not. In such cases, one’s blinkers will prevent one from noting or caring about the beliefs and goals of the people you’re dealing with, and you will end up taking […]
Iraqi TV says Iran’s Quds Force top dog Soleimani killed in US airstrike at Baghdad’s airport
In August 2018, Soleimani posted an image on Instagram of the White House exploding. His death, if confirmed, shows that the US is now serious about confronting the belligerence and aggression of the Islamic Republic of Iran. On January 1, 2020, the Ayatollah Khamenei tweeted to Trump: “You can’t do anything.” “Iraqi TV: Iran’s Gen. […]
Iraq: Kurdish Muslim authorities allow sale of anti-Christian shoes that allow wearer to trample on cross
Islamic groups in the US have successfully protested against shoes that they claim bear the name of Allah. Will they protest against this? What do you think? “It is a pity that empty slogans about tolerance and mutual respect, intended for naive Europeans, find fertile soil in Western media and mislead the public.” Indeed. The […]
Video: Hizballah militia besieging US embassy in Baghdad screams “Allahu akbar”

(@JackPosobiec) December 31, 2019 This gives the lie to the establishment media claims about the meaning of “Allahu akbar.” It does not mean “God is great,” and is not a simple manifestation of Islamic piety. It means “Allah […]
Travel Risk Map shows that eight out of top 10 most dangerous nations to visit are Muslim
Islamic jihadis in Muslim countries hate tourists, who are often visiting sites of jahiliyya, the pre-Islamic society of unbelievers. And if they’re visiting Muslim sites, they’re trampling them down under their Infidel feet. Either way, they’re not welcome. “Eight out of top 10 most dangerous nations are Muslim,” 5Pillars, November 19, 2019 (thanks to The […]
In Iraq, Stirrings of an “Ungrateful Volcano”
Perhaps you remember all those high hopes once expressed by Americans for bringing democracy to “ordinary moms and dads” in Iraq, as President George Bush called them. America would not only topple Saddam Hussein, and play its famous game of fifty-two pickup – that is, bring to justice the 52 top figures in his regime […]
Saddam Hussein bribed Jacques Chirac with $6,150,000 to get France to oppose the Iraq War
Chirac was right to oppose the war, which was directed at the wrong foe, one who had not attacked us on 9/11. It failed to confront the real causes of the 9/11 jihad attacks, which have still not been confronted. But the really interesting aspect of this story is that it raises another question: how […]
