They’re supposed to be fighting against the Islamic State, but they hate the Great Satan more than they hate the Sunnis.
“Iran-backed Shia militia says it will fight US Marines deployed to Iraq,” Reuters, March 21, 2016:
An Iranian-backed militia said on Monday it said it would treat US Marines deployed in Iraq to fight the Islamic State group as forces of occupation and “deal” with the foreign troops.
Washington said on Sunday that a detachment of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit was in Iraq, bolstering efforts by the United States and a coalition of allies against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil).
“If the US administration doesn’t withdraw its forces immediately, we will deal with them as forces of occupation,” the Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia said on its TV channel, al-Ahd.
“The forces of occupation are making a new suspicious attempt to restore their presence in the country under the pretext of fighting their own creation, Daesh,” the Shia Muslim militia added, referring to an acronym for Isil.

Paleologos says
Pray for these brave Marines. They are in harms way with a gutless, muslim Manchurian Candidate POTUS in charge, who is anti – American, and anti – U.S. military.

Apparently they don’t trust Obama’s claim to be fighting a common enemy ISIS.
Could US troops in Iraq be supporting (John McCain’s friendlies) anti-Assad forces just across the border in Syria while pretending to focus on ISIS? Would Obama be that sneaky?
Peter Charles says
I pray Obama will withdraw his rules of engagement and instate the international rules of war as their governing body of law ADDING that self defense is ALWAYS permitted.` At which point the USMC would clearly and irrevocably demonstrate to ISIS why even Japanese suicide fighters feared the USMC. The few ISIS survivors would be is that same state of fear.
Paleologos says
Peter Charles,
Not likely Obama will withdraw the crippling and stupid rules of engagement we hamstring our armed forces with.
In fact, I distinctly remember during the Iraq War, on “W’s” watch, we had an armed drone eyeballing a Taliban funeral with about 150 – 200 attendees. The “war morality consultants,” i.e., some D.C. lawyers duly appointed for such decisions, not the military, refused to allow the drone to fire away. Now, how many of those Taliban went out and killed our troops after praying to allah that their dead comrade got his 72 virgins?

Can’t blame them to be honest. The US has been overtly and surreptitiously aiding and abetting Jihad in the region. I’m no friend of Iran, but at least they understand who they enemy is. We seem to have lost that ability.

Good. Looks like they are looking to get their asses kicked back to Karbala!! M
Ex-muslim says

It obvious that see these Shia militia and other Shiites across the region have a point in that they see the US government as backing their regional sunni enemies such the saudis, qataris, turkeys, bahrainis, yemenis and anti government sunni jihadists in syria.
miriamrove says
I do not think so. Please read the post by Penant8 below. That is the answer. m
Angemon says
As I said in another post, miriamrove, the pro-Kremlin trolls are at it today. Any time where they can write anti-Western propaganda, they’ll do so, no matter the excuse or relevance.
pennant8 says
This is just another example of why putting an infidel army on the ground in a Muslim country is a classic example of embarking on a fools errand. It makes no difference which side the infidel army aligns with because all groups on the Muslim side will always put aside their internal differences and align against the infidel.
Angemon says
Seems about right.
realist says
Since Japans capitulation has America actually won any of their wars? Now they have started on daesh…this wont end well, just as all their other wars didnt!The difference is that this war will be brought to the American homeland(as we see already) and not fought thousands of kilometres away.
Kepha says
I think you have a very good point. War is hell, as General Sherman said, and it’s fought to destroy an enemy’s capacity to continue.
linnte says
More needless American deaths will happen because of this! We just need to get our military OUT not put more in. Let them destroy themselves! That would be the natural consequences of their ignorance and intolerance. (Imagine if all Law enforcement left Chicago. What would happen with all the gangs left to their own? They would kill each other off. People who didn’t want to be involved would get the hell out. That would leave anarchy to rule and eventually, the last people standing could be overthrown easily by military).

Shia , Sunni : Same crap ! Different Pile ! Same goal ! Mohammad’s twisted version of the good life !

Quote: ““Iran-backed Shia militia says it will fight US Marines”
Obviously, the Shia militias are planning to commit genocide, proving again that genocide is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
Islam should be banned in all civilized countries because Muslims do not accept modern human rights codes, but actively work to destroy them at all levels…even at the United Nations General Assembly.

Such irony–they are blinded by the evil that *they* serve: satan ?
No Fear says
In the linked article the Shiite militia describe themselves as “The League of the Righteous”.
That is the most amusing thing I have heard all day.
Islam :- the religion of idiots says
Put a safety ring around the whole middle East,keep feeding them lethal weapons until there is only one left then charge him with genocide
Kepha says
Maybe also pay $25K to every Christian and Jewish couple in the region who has a baby? Sodom Insane paid that to every Falastin suicide bomber’s family.

And while we’re at it, make a law in memory of Dr. George Tiller for ourselves–everyone who performs a late term abortion gets a public 9mm. cerebral hemorrhage (after due process, of course).
Bezelel says
I can think of several creative responses for our military. The only problem is obola. We could threaten to exile obola to any country that attacks us.

“They hate the great Satan more than they hate the sunnis”
yep
from Encyclopedia Britannica index- vol 5-
“Islãm 9:911, a world religion founded by the Arabian apostle, or prophet, Muhammad in the 7th century AD that emphasizes an uncompromising monotheism and a strict adherence to certain religious practices. Although there have been many sects and movements in Islãm, all followers of Islãm are bound by a common faith and a sense of belonging to a single community.”
so yeah, that figures, when push comes to shove then the Muslims hate all infidels more so than they hate any Muslim.
The Infidels are divided, the Muslims are as one, relatively speaking.
Bit of a coincidence being on page 911.
