Image: Iraqi Security Forces patrol the streets of Fallujah in a combined effort with US Marine Corps (USMC) Marines. US Marines engaged in Security and Stabilization Operations (SASO) during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM are currently training the Iraqi Security Forces to independently deter and detect insurgency throughout Iraq Tom Joscelyn, @thomasjoscelyn, Long War Journal and FDD; and Bill Roggio, @billroggio, Long War Journal and FDD; podcast: Generation Jihad; in re: Senior al Q members in Iran. At the behest of the US, al Masri, the sub-emir of al Q, was killed by Israel. Obviously, al Qaeda has major operatives in Iran. Why does the US completely fail to see this? Basic facts. General Lloyd Austin, nominated to Secretary of Defense. Biden praises him for beginning the retreat from Iraq. Military need to wait seven years before being appointed to a civilian post. Get rid of the waiver.
