INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The largest military parade to date this year has been held in the province of Diyala with the presence of Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa
al-Khadhimi and PMU chairman Falih al-Fayadh as well as other high-ranking security officials.On display at the parade was a number of
impressive and advanced indigenously made military equipment
The former Prime Minister has pointed out in several interviews that he feared Daesh terrorists crossing into Iraq from neighboring Syria,
killing border guards, and amassing in the Western Anbar province desert, would soon expand their territorial gain in the country.The second
issue worrying the former government was the U.S.-trained Iraqi army would not be capable of confronting the territorial expansion of the
terrorist group.The third matter of concern was that Washington was refusing to deliver weapons in particular missiles that Baghdad had paid
for and desperately needed to take out the terrorists before they advanced.However, the Obama White House egged on by Congress, set
conditions on the delivery of the weapons
One of these conditions was that Maliki step down
pressure on the former PM was a deliberate plan by the Pentagon to use the presence of Daesh as a pretext to return its troops to the Arab
country, which American troops eventually did and remain in Iraq until today despite deep resentment against their presence.As Maliki was
forced to cede power in 2014, Daesh took control of many Iraqi regions including entire cities and provinces where the U.S.-trained Iraqi
holy city of Karbala, which called on Iraqi men - capable of carrying arms - to volunteer in the fight against Daesh.The Fatwa for Jihad in
Islam can onlybe used when a nation and people are under attack
prisoners of war.Over the next few days and weeks, an estimated three million people registered to volunteer

force would include a Christian brigade, and Sunni brigades and coordinate the battle against Daesh shoulder to shoulder with Kurdish
military advisers entered the scene.They helped arm the new volunteers and they helped train them
Then came to a blessed, courageous, and speedy presence, in the first hours during this crisis, of the dear brother and commander, Qassem
[military assistance] immediately, the military aid came in cars and then in planes
terrorist attacks in Western countries
Lieutenant General Soleimani also played a major role in defeating Daesh in Syria
needs to be answered is why did the U.S
under the direct order of former President Donald Trump assassinate the two war heroes with drone strikes in an act of American
has not brought Daesh back, the PMU in Iraq has gone from strength to strength in tribute to the two slain anti-terror icons
that puts the PMU in the same category as all other Iraqi armed forces
They receive their paychecks and pension from Baghdad and also what is interesting is that there are more Sunni and Christian members in the
forces, who no longer have the mandate to stay in Iraq, after parliament passed a bill for their expulsion following the assassination of
minimal casualties to civilians
The PMU engaged in street battles.That is the complete opposite of U.S
forces, whose warplanes bombed cities damaged the infrastructure, killed civilians, and led to hundreds of thousands of internally displaced
Drone footage showing the aftermath of Mosul after American fighter jets carpet bombed the city looks like the apocalypse.
