Make no mistake, this news that the Iraqi government is crawling to Iran to help stabalize the country is disasterous--indicative that the government has virtually given up on the United States' ability to control violence. Coupled with a U.S. policy of engaging Iran and Syria and phased withdrawal, Iran-Iraq "cooperation" would virtually ensure domination of Iraq by the Islamic Republic. This comment was especially disheartening:
Talabani told reporters as he arrived in Tehran:
"We need Iran's comprehensive help to fight terrorism, restore
security and stabilize Iraq."
Iran fighting terrorism? That's kind of like Oedipus hunting down the man who killed his father.
