Ref #1: Sadly, I don't see this ever happening Lex. Explaining why would be painful and redundant.

#6 A backgrounder: Hadi el-Ameri is well known to the US. Former head of Badr Brigade he was Transport Minister under Maliki, and one of the signs that an American retreat from Iraq would end badly. But Obama had his own plans and believed Iran could be won over. The Shia overplayed their hand and the Baathists responded with ISIS who were met by the Asayeb militias, the Hashd al-Shaabi of Ameri. That leaves us where we are now: fighting Iran through its proxies in Iraq. Interesting to see The Iraqi Street pronouncing anti-Iran sentiments leading to the assaults on Iranian consulates in Kerbala, Najaf, Basra among broader interests. PM Abdul Mahdi is now a lame duck while the government sits in limbo.
