excellent article by @moonofa on malevolent US bombing.
US "precision" bombed Iraqi Shia militias fighting ISIS in far west Iraq and Syria, hundreds of miles away from K1 base near Kirkuk where a contractor killed by rocket fire from someone else.
Shameful.

@MoonofA while US government and media label Iraqi Shia militia as "Iranian proxies", they are first and foremost Iraqi militia fighting ISIS on the ground, who were not expecting to be surprise attacked by supposed US "allies".
@MoonofA 4/ Moon of A commenter points out that Pompeo and US military probably thought that the Iraqi Shia militias (Kata'ib Hizbullah) were the same as Hizbullah in Lebanon, even though they are completely separate.
@MoonofA 5/ rockets used in Kirkuk attack were commonplace Iranian rockets known to have been "looted by terrorist groups from the stockpiles of the Syrian and Iraqi militaries,"
fired from back of mini-truck. Zero diagnostic to Iraqi Shia militia vs ISIS remnants

@MoonofA 6/ the soldiers killed by US were soldiers within the 45 and 46 brigades of Iraqi army under direction of Iraqi PM, not Iran, as Pompeo and neocons pretend.
