As the world knows by now, our embassy in Iraq was attacked earlier today.
We are now finding out one of the agitators in the attack, Iranian Militia Leader Hadi al-Amiri, was once on the guest list at the White House when Barack Obama was president.
The White House Guest
More details on the attack at our embassy in Iraq are finally coming in.
The reports stated that there were agitators among the mob, encouraging the attack against our embassy.
One of those “agitators” was Hadi al-Amiri.
When the Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki visited the White House, he brought his Transportation Minister, who was al-Amiri.
When she visited the White House, she was, at the time, also identified as the Commander of the Badr Organization.
Even during the White House visit, there was concern expressed about her ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
This is the same group the FBI had identified as being at least partly responsible for the terrorist attack that occurred in 1996 and claimed the lives of 19 U.S. servicemen.
This is also the same group that was recently designated as a terrorist organization by President Donald Trump.
With all of this information, Barack Obama still allowed this individual to step not only into our country, but also into OUR House.

When the visit was taking place, Fox News’ Ed Henry questioned the White House regarding its lack of discretion on the visit.
The transcript of that Q&A is below:
Ed Henry, FOX News: When Prime Minister Maliki was here this week there have been reports that a former commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which U.S. officials say played a role in a 1996 terrorist attack that killed 19 U.S. servicemen.
He was here at the White House with Prime Minister Maliki because he’s a transportation minister, yeah, transportation minister —
Jay Carney, WH: Who’s [sic] report is that?
Henry: I believe the Washington Times has reported it. I think others have as well, but I think this is a Washington Times —
Carney: I have to take that question then, I’m not aware of it.
Henry: Can you just answer it later though, whether he was here and whether a background check had been done?
Carney: I’ll check on it for you.
Henry: Okay, thanks.
