The leader of an Iran-backed US embassy siege in Baghdad was welcomed to the White House by Barack Obama eight years ago before becoming Tehran's 'point man' in Iraq.
Hadi al-Amiri was Iraq's minister of transport under then-Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and stood in the Oval Office as part of Maliki's delegation on a visit to the White House in December 2011.
On Tuesday, al-Amiri was among those leading the charge against the US embassy in Baghdad when it was stormed and set alight by pro-Iran militants. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo shared a photograph of Amiri amid the rioters, condemning him as an 'Iranian proxy,' and calling those shoulder-to-shoulder with him 'terrorists.'
The head of a leading pro-Iran Shia faction, Amiri exerts great power within Iraq's state-sanctioned Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and was highlighted by Pompeo among three other men as the ringleaders of the siege.

TRUMP JUST KILLED HIS ASS.)✔️
ReplyDeletebarack hussein obama is muslim traitor to our great country. I still can't figure out how he got elected as our president, not only once but twice. His goal was to destroy our way of life and 4 more years of his treasonous policies under one of his clones would have probably finished us off. Thanks to President Trump we are safe as a country again
DeleteAnd TALIB N OMAR
DeleteEach day I hear more and more about Obama's dealings with the Middle East. Did he give this country away? Thank God that President Trump has rebuilt our Military to protect America.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise here! Obama is a terrorist!
ReplyDeleteThat was just to see what his cut from that 150 billion was gonna be.
ReplyDeleteyes what a surprise that an Iraqi elected official would be invited to the WH. If you clowns had any clue about this region you would know that on any given day, half the folks we are fighting today were our friends yesterday. Keep coming with the fake gotcha stories though.
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't Obama go to hell and hide his ugly face and mouth? I am so sick and tired of seeing and hearing about him. I had hoped that we were rid of him when Trump won. He's like a nasty cockroach that just keeps coming back. Take Mooochelle with him.
ReplyDeleteIt figures. That son of a biatch did everything he could to hurt America. Even stopped people coming from the Philippines because they work when they get here. He let people from Africa come here in their place and they went straight to welfare. Plus bowing to our enemies. What a no good lousy piece of shite.
