Long War Journal: Iraq’s PM introduces US-designated terrorist to Iran’s President
During yesterday’s meeting in Tehran between Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al Abadi and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, the former introduced the latter to Abu Mahdi al Muhandis, the operations chief for the Iranian-backed Popular Mobilization Committee and a US-listed Specially Designated Global Terrorist.
Muhandis, who the US government has described as “an advisor to” Qassem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’s Qods Force, was photographed with Abadi earlier this month. And he also has been photographed with Soleimani in Baghdad just last month.
WNU Editor: The above photo is very telling on who the Iraqi PM wants to be with. I guess this also explains why President Obama snubbed the Iraqi PM two weeks ago .... Did President Obama Purposely Ignore and Snub The Iraqi PM At The G7 Summit? Yup .... it does not take a genus to know that there is a lot occurring behind the scenes that is making the White House deeply concerned and bothered.
On a side note .... my own little twist of an old saying .... the friend of my enemy is not my friend.
