Americans Need to Think Twice Before Launching Attacks in Iraq

The United States needs to seriously consider any military measure in Iraq to avoid unpredicted retaliatory action by Iraqi groups, an analyst said. 
“Any measure against resistance groups or assassination of their commanders could spark off uncontrollable and immeasurable reaction against Americans in Iraq,” Sabah Zanganeh, an expert on Iraqi affairs, told IRNA. 
The US has been pulling its troops in Iraq from smaller bases to larger ones and improving its air defense systems, apparently to protect American and allied forces against attacks that it blames on Iraqi militias. 
It is gathering its troops in Ain al-Asad and Harir air bases where patriot missile launchers and two other short-range systems are now in place for purportedly boosting protection.
