US Warns Iraq Against Militia Interference, Ignores Its Own
According to The New Arab, Washington is cautioning Iraq against 'Iran-backed militias' meddling in its regional military operations. This, from a nation whose own 'militia' of well-funded lobbyists and PACs, like AIPAC, routinely funnel millions into US elections to ensure votes align with a foreign state's agenda. In 2022 alone, AIPAC spent over $30 million directly on elections, according to
OpenSecrets.org, shaping who gets to even run. The hypocrisy is as thick as Baghdad's summer air. The US demands Iraq clean house while its own legislators pass multi-billion dollar aid packages for Israel, often within days of receiving significant campaign contributions. One wonders: where's the US warning to its own politicians about foreign influence in *their* elections? Perhaps that memo got
lost in the mail, or more likely, bought and paid for.
