Iraq
US Should Look to Popular Mobilization Units as Official Power: Commander
2016-03-31
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] The head of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization forces (PMF), Hadi al-Ameri said that the powerful group will have major role in liberating djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
from the Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
insurgency.

In an interview with Financial Times, Ameri said that the "United States should look to the Popular Mobilization units (also known as Hash Saabi) as an official power."

"Despite objections by the US-led coalition, PMF will take part in battle of retaking Mosul."

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the pastor had finally been wrestled from the pulpit.
Y'got the wrong guy! he yelled just before Sergeant Malone's billy club landed...

Ameri said the PMF will not enter Mosul but will work on a strategy to isolate the city in a bid to help the Iraqi army from getting into the city which is controlled by Takfiri group, ISIL.

Ameri, who leads Badr group (which is part of the PMF), said that the "European states and US don’t trust the PMF because they are Shia," noting that "they consider ISIL holy warriors ‘fighters’ while they describe PMF fighters ‘militia’."

I don't see why the White House would have any problem - it's not like they haven't been using versions of "popular mobilization units" in the US since 2008.
