PMF = Popular Mobilization Force.

"Pro-Iranian Shiite militias attached to Iraqi army"

27 November.

"The Baghdad parliament's decision Saturday to attach the Hashid al-Shaabi conglomerate of pro-Iranian militias to the Iraqi army will have four consequences"

1. "Further disintegration of central authority in Baghdad. Since those militias are under the direct command of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards,
Tehran is effectively taking over the Iraqi army."

2. "An end to the Obama administration's efforts to build a national, unified Iraqi army to fight ISIS"

3. "A step back from the offensive to liberate Mosul launched by Washington five weeks ago."

4. "The Sunni Muslims and Kurds living in Mosul will never accept their towns occupation by Shiite militias under Iranian command."

Shia militia of Iraq greatly beholden to the Iranian. That internal conflict within Islam between Sunni and Shia NEVER has been more acute? This move hardly improves the situation!

ALSO AT THAT EXACT MOMENT WHEN DISCORD AMONG THE VARIOUS FACTIONS NOW INVOLVED IN THE FIGHTING IN AND AROUND MOSUL REQUIRING A SINGLE AND UNIFIED COMMAND YOU HAVE THIS?
