MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : FIRST IRAQI ELECTIONS RESULTS ! BAD NEWS FOR ISRAEL ! GOOD NEWS FOR THE SHIA!

   Partial Iraq election results drop PM Al Abadi to third place

May 14, 2018 @ 9:52 DEBKA FILES ISRAEL – Two Shiite candidates are ahead of prime minister Haydar al Abadi according to partial results of Iraq’s general election. They are the cleric Moqtada al-Sadr and the pro-Iranian militia chief Hadi al-Amiri. DEBKAfile: If confirmed in the final count, this will be bad news for the US and Israel. While running as a pro-Saudi candidate, Sadr, who is of Lebanese descent, is a good friend of Hizballah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah and his Mahdi Army militia was trained by Hizballah officers. Amiri was set up by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as future prime minister of Iraq and their puppet. Sadr, whose political record is extremely erratic, may have no qualms about forming a pact with Amiri for joining his  coalition government under Tehran’s thumb. www.mesop.de
