History: The Day I Realized I Would Never Find Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq

We found remnants of WMD such as chemical shells and some troops were exposed to agents when handling them. The NYT published an excellent article on it several years ago.
Maybe it will help if people actually know what a WMD is.
A weapon of mass destruction (WMD) is a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological, or any other weapon that can kill and bring significant harm to numerous humans or cause great damage to human-made structures (e.g., buildings), natural structures (e.g., mountains), or the biosphere.

Iraq protesters: ‘Sadr betrayed everyone, now serves Iran’s interests’

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Iraq’s anti-government protesters on Saturday accused Muqtada al-Sadr of “betrayal” a day after the firebrand Shiite cleric withdrew his support for the movement which has occupied Baghdad’s Tahrir Square since October.
On Friday morning, tens of thousands of Sadr supporters and members of Iraq’s pro-Iran parties and militias marched in Baghdad, keeping away from the long-established protest camps, to demand the expulsion of US forces.
Sadr called for the “million-strong” march in response to the US drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi militia chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis at Baghdad Airport on January 3.
Later on Friday, Sadr told his supporters to leave Tahrir Square and other areas occupied by anti-government protesters and formally withdrew his support for the movement.
Early on Saturday morning, Iraqi security forces launched a violent crackdown, ejecting protesters from their camps, burning their tents, and retaking several strategic bridges.
Hussam, 26, who has been protesting in Tahrir Square since late October, told Rudaw that Sadr had simply used the anti-government protests to further his own and Iran’s political interests.
“Sadr is busy working for Iranian interests to be achieved in Iraq by expelling US troops. He has no intention of saving the protests in Iraq if they are a threat to Iran,” Hussam said.
“Sadr left one day after his so-called million person demonstration against the US and that shows that he used the protests for his interests and the interests of Iran,” he added.
Sadr’s march attracted far fewer than the “million” protesters he had hoped to mobilize.
Shortly after his march dispersed on Friday afternoon, Sadr released a statement confirming he was withdrawing his support for the anti-government protests, which have been ongoing since October 25.
Young Iraqis took to the streets of the nation’s southern and central cities on October 1 to protest the lack of basic services, rampant corruption, and high unemployment.
Following a short pause for the Shiite religious observance of Arbaeen, the protests resumed on October 25 with fresh demands for the overthrow of the post-2003 political establishment.
More than 600 people have been killed and around 18,000 injured in clashes between protesters, security forces, and pro-Iran militias according to Amnesty International.
Luay, 31, has been protesting in Karbala since October 26. He traveled to Baghdad on Friday to participate in Sadr’s march – a decision he now regrets.
“I regret that I went all the way to Baghdad to participate in Sadr’s demonstration against the US troops, as he clearly used us for his own interests,” Luay told Rudaw English on Saturday.
“Sadr betrayed everyone and now all he does is serve Iranian interests in Iraq,” he added.
Now Luay fears the anti-government protests “will be finished in a bloody way”.
He is surprised by Sadr’s apparent shift from Iraqi nationalist to Iran-backer.
“It is weird to see Sadr is pro-Iran now, while he was the man who invented the “Iran out, out” slogans back in 2018, in [former prime minister Haider al-] Abadi’s days,” Luay said, referring to similar mass protests in the summer of that year.
Following weeks of relative calm, violence again resumed in Baghdad and other southern cities where security forces used live ammunition to disperse protesters.
At least 10 died in clashes last week, according to the Iraqi High Commission for Human Rights, and more than a dozen in recent days. At least three protesters were killed on Saturday alone, according to AFP.
In a tweet, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, the UN Secretary-General’s special representative to Iraq, called on Iraqi authorities to serve and protect the people and to continue implementing reforms.
“Unaccountability and indecisiveness are unworthy of Iraqi hopes, courageously expressed for four months now. While death and injury tolls continue to rise, steps taken so far will remain hollow if not completed. The people must be served and protected, not violently oppressed,” Hennis-Plasschaert tweeted Saturday.-

News of an agreement to choose Ali Allawi for the post of prime minister
Follow the obelisk on her channel in the Telegram app
-----------------------------------
Baghdad / Obelisk: Political sources confirmed, Monday, January 20, 2020, that the nomination for the post of prime minister will be decided in favor of Ali Abdul Amir Allawi.
The sources said to "Al-Masala", that the agreement was reached with the President of the Republic to assign Ali Abdul-Amir Allawi as the next Prime Minister to succeed the head of the caretaker government, Adel Abdul-Mahdi.
While an informed political source revealed the designation of the Prime Minister, today, Monday, or Tuesday, as a maximum.
The source revealed the meeting of the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, the President of the Victory Coalition, Haider al-Abadi, the President of the Alliance of the Hadi al-Amiri, and the President of the Al-Hikma Movement, Ammar al-Hakim, to resolve the nomination of the candidate for the position of Prime Minister.
The source said, "There are 4 names currently nominated for the position: Ali Shukry, Mustafa Al-Kazemi and Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, to whom I finally add Ali Abdul Amir Allawi."
He added, "Ali Abdel Amir Allawi went from Beirut to Baghdad urgently to meet the President of the Republic, Barham Salih," noting that "the announcement of the nomination of one of the four candidates for the post will take place on Monday evening or next Tuesday morning."
Political sources have spoken of the arrival of the presidential candidate to Baghdad from Beirut after hours, and President Barham Saleh will visit the Peace Palace as a prelude to his mandate to form the government and conduct preliminary consultations.
Sources say that the assembled parties agree that the candidate must obtain the approval of the masses of the demonstrations.
Protests escalated in Baghdad and the provinces after the constitutional deadline to assign a candidate for prime minister ended.
Totals, roads were cut in front of traffic, and many official departments were closed.
And the Iraqis are waiting for the nomination of the candidate to be far from the choices of consuming or partisan personalities, and that the political forces give up their privileges and conditions in order to achieve stability and prevent further chaos.

The central bank sets the price of the dollar and reassures citizens
Yes we want to reassure our citizens that the dinar is worth crap and it is nice and stable that way.
Just more currency articles to get the spot light off the corrupt government so they can kick the can down the road a little more each day IMOP.
Lets focus on whats important. Get those elections happening and somehow get Iran out of your government so you can finally stop dieing and eating out of trash cans.

So Iran shoots down an airline leaving its own country with a bunch of so called Canadians on it.
And I have not seen a single pic or herd anything of us shooting down those cruse missiles with our defenses.
And now there saying everything good here now were happy no more war.
The way I see it is that if the demonstrators can put the right government in place we are on the fastest track to Security, stability and a fully seated government.

I don't see the President acting out of caricature in this speech, in fact I think last night I could have guessed everything he was going to say when he addressed us today. I had a feeling he was going to let this attack slide taking it like a punch in the arm in a one last try effort to stop this escalation. On the Iranian side they had to respond to appease his followers, funny thing is they warned the Iraqi government to get there people 1000 yards away from those bases long before the missiles were launched.
Iran loves performing there attacks in a slimy way hidden among the people by kidnapping killing and going as far as infiltrating a government, we have been watching this for years now. They would be out of there element in a head on war against the US and they know better, they gave a punch in the arm and will now back off and perform business as usual ion the shadows.
I can only hope we can keep Iraq's demonstrators alive long enough to remove Iran's influence.

Actually I was hoping Iran was dumb enough to keep escalating this and hopefully no one gets injured or killed in our bases but the sooner we get started the sooner it will be over. By now we all have to know there will be no RV until Iran is out of Iraq so lets just get it over with.
