"Under
the Iran deal, the Obama administration gave Iran access to $100-$150 billion
in frozen assets, as well as nearly $2 billion in cash (delivered by cargo
plane), some of which is thought to have funded Soleimani’s activities."
But who helped build up this terrorist infrastructure?
The Obama administration did. Beyond its illegal foreign cash shipments to Iran
and the sanctions relief, the PMFs benefited from US foreign aid directed
through Iraq's Interior Ministry.
Obama's Benghazi in Baghdad
How Obama's Iraq treason
created ISIS and led to the attack on our embassy In Baghdad.

terrorism.
When Shiite members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF)
attacked the American embassy in Baghdad, in a deliberate recreation of the
attack on our embassy in Tehran that had ushered in a new age of Shiite terror,
the media was quick to label it 'Trump's Benghazi'.
The parallels are certainly there.
BLOG: NO ONE BUT A LOBOTOMIZED FOOL SHOULD THINK ANY MUSLIM IS OUR ALLY!
In both Benghazi and Baghdad, Islamist terror militias who we
thought were our allies turned on the United States. In both cases, there was
nothing surprising or unexpected about this inevitable development to anyone
except foreign policy experts and the media.
And, in both Benghazi and Baghdad, the Obama administration's
policy of cultivating Islamic terrorists had come home to roost.
The Islamists who attacked the embassy were not Trump's allies,
but Obama's allies.
When Hadi al-Amiri, the head of the Badr Brigade, the former
military wing of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq, came to the White House,
it was in 2011, not 2017.
The close IRGC ally was welcomed by Barack
Obama, and played a role in the embassy attack. The IRGC, Iran's global terror
hub, had been listed as a terror group by President Trump, a move resisted by
Barack Obama dating back to his time in the Senate.
Once in the White House, Obama's policies so empowered and enabled
the IRGC that in one of the most infamous incidents in American history,
members of the Islamic terror group captured and humiliated American sailors.
There is little doubt that the IRGC was the hidden hand behind the embassy
attack in Baghdad through its PMF proxies.
The rise of ISIS and the attack on our embassy in Baghdad had
their roots in Obama's backing for Iraq's Shiite dominated government in
Baghdad. The Bush administration had tried to unite Sunni and Shiite Muslims
into a political system that would sideline Al Qaeda on the Sunni side and Iran
on the Shiite side. Iraqi civil society was
probably always doomed, but Obama's Iraq policy was to turn the country over to
the terrorists.
Obama wanted to pull out of Iraq as soon as possible. His plan for
a quick pullout was to allow Iran a free hand in Baghdad. Iraq's central
government dominated by Shiite Islamists loyal to Iran allowed Islamic militias
backed and trained by Iran to execute gays and impose Islamic law in the
streets. The Sunni tribal leaders who had made the 'awakening' against Al Qaeda
possible were ignored when they came to D.C. seeking support against Iran.
While the media went on touting Obama's incredible successes in
Iraq, the country split into two terror camps. While the Popular Mobilization
Forces rolled up Shiite areas, Al Qaeda in Iraq reinvented itself as ISIS.
Unlike President Trump, Obama chose not to hit ISIS hard. Instead,
after Iraq's military collapsed, his administration's anti-ISIS strategy relied
heavily on supporting the Shiite PMF militias which included embedded Iranian
forces.
Obama had helped birth the Islamic State by backing Iran's
takeover of Iraq. Forced to fight ISIS, he doubled down on the same strategy.
And that completed the takeover.
The marginalization of the Kurds, whose attempts at creating an
independent state were crushed by the Shiite regime in Baghdad, and the Sunnis,
who had been caught between Iran and ISIS, ended military opposition to the
Iranian takeover of Iraq.
But political protests against the Iranian puppet regime broke
out, leading to violent clashes between protesters and PMF thugs, PMF attacks
on Americans, American retaliation against PMFs, and the attack on the United
States embassy by the PMFs.
Iran's takeover of Iraq, like its involvement in Yemen's civil
war, in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, had been funded by the wages of Obama's
nuclear sellout. The billions that the Obama administration had directly and
indirectly handed to the terrorists of Tehran were used to fund soft and hard
influence across the region.
The Iran deal didn't just mean that the terror regime was able to
continue building up its nuclear program, but that it could increase its
financial commitments to Hamas, help build up Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis
in Yemen, and the PMFs in Iraq.
Iran had four things to offer its Shiite (and occasional Sunni fellow
travelers ranging from Hamas to Al Qaeda) Islamist allies. These were weapons,
training, a global network, and money. Of these money was the most generic, but
also the most important.
Islamic terrorism is only partly built on the suicidal fanatics willing
to die for Allah. It's mostly built on amateur and professional killers who
want to get paid.
Choke off the money and recruitment drops
Under Obama, billions in foreign currency were illegally flown
into Iran on unmarked cargo planes, but Trump cut off the cash.
The cash crunch not only weakened Iran's regime, where fresh
protests arose, but its terror networks, including in Iraq, began facing
their own cash shortages. And so Iran's rulers, their IRGC hidden hand, and
their Islamist PMF proxies decided to send America and the protesters a
message.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration had sanctioned the
South Wealth Resources Company (SWRC), allegedly a key conduit for the IRGC's
ability to smuggle weapons and money in and through Iraq.
The sanctioning of the IRGC itself had met with anger from
the Badr Brigade and Hadi al-Amiri. The conflict escalated with Kataeb
Hezbollah, a PMF, attacking Americans. The death of an American contractor in a
Kataeb Hezbollah rocket attack raised the stakes. President Trump struck back
with airstrikes against Kataeb Hezbollah. And Kataeb Hezbollah attacked the
embassy.
Kataeb Hezbollah is another project of the IRGC and is led by Abu
Mahdi al-Muhandis who was part of the attack on the embassy. Muhandis is the
Deputy Commander of PMF who is linked to the 1983 truck bombing of the US
embassy in Kuwait which, had it been better planned, could have destroyed the
facility.
After the airstrikes, Al-Muhandis warned,
that “the response to the Americans will be harsh."
But who helped build up this terrorist infrastructure? The Obama
administration did. Beyond its illegal foreign cash shipments to Iran and the
sanctions relief, the PMFs benefited from US foreign aid directed through
Iraq's Interior Ministry.
Even as Iraq's Interior Ministry was headed by a Badr leader
trained by Iranian forces who had been arrested for smuggling explosives used
to attack American soldiers, our foreign aid kept flowing through an Iraqi
ministry run by terrorists.
The Obama administration was funding terrorists to fight
terrorism. It was the same disastrous scenario that had led to the massacre in
Benghazi.
The only difference was that the blowback took longer to arrive in
Baghdad than it did in Benghazi.
Obama's foreign policy operatives and the media have blamed the
embassy attack on Trump's pressure on Iran, rather than on Obama's appeasement
of Iran.
This is a variation of the same cynical Obama administration
strategy which manufactured a fake intelligence community consensus blaming
Benghazi on a protest over a Mohammed YouTube video, instead of a coordinated
transnational wave of Islamist attacks coordinated well ahead of time to
coincide with September 11.
The Obama administration may be history, but the damage it did
still revebrates through the region as the Islamist forces it unleashed
continue to tear apart nations and to threaten American lives.

Obama Welcomed Terror Leader Behind Iraq Embassy Attack To White

Democrats and their media
allies are spinning the attack on our embassy in Iraq as Trump's Benghazi. The
reality is that it's still Obama's Benghazi.
As this Daily Mail story reminds us
As this Daily Mail story reminds us
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.
A former guerrilla fighter who
fought for Tehran in the Iran-Iraq War, Amiri has been accused of terrorism
against the US, of helping Iran to ship arms to Bashar al-Assad in Syria and
has been pictured bowing before the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei
Not that Amiri was getting
special treatment. The White House of the day had opened its doors to a legion
of foreign and domestic Islamists. But it also highlights the degree of
collusion between Obama and Iran.
