With Biden’s handlers in the White House and the military-industrial complex back in the saddle unchallenged, and given the boundless dishonesty of the political and media elites, this is actually possible. However, for al-Khazali to claim that the Islamic State (ISIS, Daesh) was “created by the US, the Israeli regime and certain Persian Gulf Arab states” tends to ignore the fact that the group was and is based on a scrupulous observance of Islamic precepts that have existed far longer than the U.S., the modern state of Israel, and the modern Persian Gulf Arab states. And for 1,400 years, those precepts have been applied worldwide.
“US Responsible for Massacre of Iraqis in Daesh Bombing: Resistance Group,” Tasnim News Agency, July 21, 2021:
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The US is responsible for the loss of dozens of lives in a deadly Baghdad bombing claimed by the Daesh terror group, said the leader of Iraq’s Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq resistance movement, which operates under the command of Popular Mobilization Units (PMU).
Qais al-Khazali said in a statement on Tuesday that political motives lie behind the bloody carnage in the bustling Woheilat market of Baghdad’s eastern neighborhood of Sadr City a day earlier.He said the terror attack took place on the eve of Eid al-Adha (Feast of Sacrifice) and as Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al Kadhimi prepares to visit Washington within the next few days.
“The United States is seeking justification for its overstay in Iraq through the presence of Daesh terrorists. Everyone knows that Daesh was created by the US, the Israeli regime and certain Persian Gulf Arab states, and their intelligence services are in control of the group,” Khazali said.
The Iraqi PMU leader said the United States is behind the upsurge in Daesh terror attacks, adding that Washington is responsible for the massacre of Iraqi people and its crimes will be responded appropriately.
He added that some individuals are complicit in aiding and abetting terrorist elements to carry out the market bombing.
A bomber killed at least 35 people and wounded dozens in a crowded market in the Sadr City neighborhood of Baghdad on Monday night. More than 60 people were wounded.
The Daesh terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack….

Usually these kinds of absurd accusations include the murderous Zionist apartheid state of Israel.
However, I agree that we overstayed our “visit”. Democracy just isn’t in the works in places where Islam is intertwined with day to day life. Just to get elected a candidate would have to out-Muslim his opponents in a race to the bottom, with platforms based on tightening Shariah crimes and punishments. Once elected the new goal is to manipulate subsequent voting. Turkey’s top turkey is a good example of how to become permanently elected through corruption. Hugo Chavez would be another.

Iraqi Shia top dog blames US for Baghdad jihad bombing, says it’s ‘seeking justification for its overstay in Iraq’
……………….
Uh huh–it’s the “filthy Infidels” who wage Jihad terror. Try again…
And the US has withdrawn most troops from Iraq now, in any case.

So true, Lion heart.

It is time we get out of these islamic countries and stop doing business or sending them foreign aid. Financial sanctions and blockades along with closing our borders to the muslim migration, student and work visas would do more than having our service personnel in country and funding their economy.
We need to do what is right for our country not just what benefits our corporations.
