Washington escalates Mideast war threat with strikes on Iraq, Syria

{Iraqi Prime Minister Abdel Abdul Mahdi and the country’s President Barham Salih both condemned the US attack, which they said had been carried out without any coordination with Baghdad.}

In other words. Our government has taken upon itself to denounce the government of Iraq of its freedom to run their own country. Diplomacy and partnership is voided.

{Three of Sunday’s US airstrikes were carried out against targets inside Iraq, and two against facilities linked to Kata’ib Hizbullah in Syria. The most intense attacks were launched against bases established by the militia on the border that were designed to prevent the infiltration of ISIS fighters.

In light of last week’s warning by Trump to the Syrian government and Russia to halt an offensive against Al Qaeda-linked forces in the northwestern Syrian province of Idlib, the attack on the Iranian-backed militia’s positions in Syria may well signal Washington’s shift back to a strategy of direct support for Al Qaeda and ISIS elements in the continuation of the regime change war against Assad.}

There you have it. We're back to supporting terrorist groups again. Funding the military complex must be continued to keep that percentage of the capital system afloat.
