(IraqiNews.com) On Saturday hundreds of supporters of the Sadrist movement, including government ministers, current members of parliament and former MPs, demonstrated this morning in Tahrir Square, the center of Baghdad, to protest against the prospect of the White House ordering American ground troops to Iraq to fight ISIS as US President Barack Obama said he plans to make his case against ISIS at the United Nations General Assembly next week in a bid for greater international support in the anti-ISIS fight.
An IraqiNews.com correspondent said that Sadrist demonstrators denounced international intervention in Iraq as “unacceptable” and “detrimental to the sovereignty of Iraq” and that “security forces and the Iraqi People are able to end the presence of ISIS.”
The correspondent said that the demonstrators denounced and strongly rejected what they perceived as “attempts of American military intervention in the territories of Iraq under the pretext of fighting ISIS,” explaining that “they raised the Iraqi flags and pictures of the cleric Moqtada al Sadr, burned the American flag and chanted slogans against their perceived intentions of the American and the international coalition. Also, they waved placards saying ‘NO, NO USA.'”
Not to be taken seriously and will be taken by I.S. when they’re ready. You’ll see a blockade of Sadir City’s 7 or 8 entrances and any attempt to empty the city of women & children before the assault a la Fallujah would be greeted by the genocidal Islamic State.
JAM will run as they did on March 30, 2008. I watched on the screen at JCS Hope after getting blown up there earlier that day on Rt. Silver & Rt. Predator.
Jim Wade Sadir City Jan-Apr 2008 WILD BOARS
Let United States split the Iraq for those people butchered by the Terrorist Group. Atlease let them live peaceful life in future. They will create their own Army. What this dirty group Sadrist movement had done for the minority people when the Terrorist group take their wife and girl children? and kill their sons? . This Idiot gang were sleeping till now. This group also must be destroyed. The Iraq people now only taking litte breath after American ally enter the War. The Iraq and this stupid gang cannot protect the minority people. So USA must give separate nation to the people who lost their life mentally and physically
To hell with the Iraqi government, the only force we should be heavily arming and fully supporting are the Kurds/PESHMERGA in Kurdistan (Northern Iraq). For years now they seem to have managed Kurdistan (Northern Iraq) securely and responsibly. We should give up on trying to secure freedom for Sunnis/Shia, they all desire a totalitarian government and deep down they all hate the United States of America… @ChrisHazeUSA
There is not even a hint that US troops will again enter Iraq. This doper Sadr is seeking to stir up the emotions of his brain dead followers only for political gains. I say, if Iraqis want to follow the likes of this doped out stooge they are welcome to it. I guess this why their country is in such horrific chaos.
US and Europe should support the kurds and the minorithies in northern Iraq and Syria and let the arabs fight their own battles. Let the kurds and the minorities in northern Iraq have their own democratic country. Obama is making another huge mistake.
Yes To US and International troops to help demoralized Iraqi army.
So far , Iraqi army is not doing the job with many issues on their mind.
DAESH have been hitting Baghdad , north , south and center. The only way to stop them is to have
troops on the ground.
One sect is refusing American troops , other sect refusing Iranian troops , while innocent people dies.
Be Genuine Iraqi and try to kick out DAESH by any mean.
I think we should leave the middle east alone………this is their problems whatever happning in iraq and syria by the extrimist groups that should be soluted by them. we should watch it from fars or ready our weapons toward them if they do any movements towards the border.
We are known as the Yanky Planks , we cant even defend our own schools or people from mass shootings, last time we came to Iraq we did little to help, but how many American Bush Cheney, Baker, Rumsfled comapnsy ripped off there own government and stole our money..How much money did Galbraith take form kurd leaders for fixing TAL, he got $120 million for 5% of a oil block..how much did Kahlizad get?
THe Kurd leaders are good at robbing there own people, just ask M Rubin, and look at all the Washington Real estate they have … If Iran want to help , it can, and I can remeber Sard Mahdi army kicking our butts all the way back home
