Iraq: Shia Cleric Issues Threat To US Forces -- SKY News
Followers of Moqtada al Sadr "will be ready" for US forces, a cleric warns, as the UN chief urges Iraqis to unite against ISIS.
A Shia cleric loyal to anti-US cleric Moqtada al Sadr has warned that the 300 US military advisers en route to Iraq will be attacked.
In a sermon from Baghdad's Sadr City district, Nassir al Saedi threatened what he called "the occupier", saying: "We will be ready for you if you are back."
The warning comes after President Barack Obama announced the deployment of US military advisers, made up mostly of special forces.

My Comment: Unbelievable .... but this is just one more evidence on why Iraq is such a "screwed up" country. Your intention is to help them and to push back against extremists groups like ISIS .... but they want to kill you. Makes you wonder on who is the extremist.
