Iraq
US has no say in Hashd al-Shaabi’s future – Fayadh
2019-03-05
Don’t make us come back, bub.
[Rudaw] Falih Fayadh, Iraq’s national security adviser and head of the Hashd al-Shaabi Commission, says the future of the Shiite paramilitias assembled in 2014 to fight the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 group is a "purely Iraq affair" in which the United States has no say.

On the sidelines of Rudaw’s first Erbil Forum, where Fayadh took part in a Friday panel about security, the Hashd Commission chief said the US has no right to demand the dismantling of the paramilitias.
