Hashd al-Sha’abi commander calls for US forces withdrawal from Iraq
[PRESSTV] A top commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Sha’abi) has called for the immediate withdrawal of US troops from Iraq after the elimination of ISIS Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...terrorists. "To the US secretary of state, your military forces must prepare now to get out of our homeland Iraq immediately and without delay once the ISIS elimination excuse is over," Qais al-Khaz’ali, the secretary general of the League of Righteous, an Iraqi gang fighting ISIS as part of Hashd al-Sha’abi, wrote on his Twitter page. The statement came after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a Sunday joint presser with his Saudi counterpart Adel al-Jubeir in Riyadh that Iran and all other countries currently helping Iraq in its fight against the ISIS terrorist group needed to leave the Arab country now that the battle was drawing to a close. A day later, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's media office criticized Tillerson’s meddlesome comments, saying, "No party has the right to interfere in Iraqi matters."
