In Iraq, the U.S. is training, sharing intelligence and planning missions with former members of Iranian-backed militias — people who once fought and killed Americans. “We all made mistakes in the past, the Americans, as well as us,” said Hadi al-Ameri, the leader of the Badr Organization, a Shiite movement with deep ties to Iran. “Now, we need their help. We can’t let our country become a playground for other powers and their agendas.” But the partnership means that the U.S. is working with some Iraqis who previously received financing, training and arms from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, considered a terrorist organization by the American government. Critics say it’s giving the fox the keys to the henhouse. But many current and retired American officials who served in Iraq acknowledge that while there is a risk, you work with the partners you have. “It’s like trying to do business or build relationships in Vietnam without dealing with the former Viet Cong,” said Douglas Ollivant, a retired Army officer and National Security Council adviser for Iraq under 2 White House administrations. “At some point, America needs to work with men who previously were on the other side.” @ivorprickett took this photo of members of the Badr Organization praying in Hilla, Iraq, last month.
