#Iraq's celeb militiaman Abu Azrael was filmed mutilating corpse of #IS-er he allegedly burned to death. He's one of the good guys, right?

This is who the US counts as a 'friend' in Iraq.


These are the public actions of a 'friend.'


It's past time that the Congress got serious about examining Barack Obama's plan or 'plan' for Iraq.


Because it's not working.


And the actions of those he supports call into question his own judgment.
