Gotta love that democracy! Iran president backs 'united' Iraq TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran's president -- hosting a visit from Iraq's prime minister and expressing support for his country's beleaguered war-torn neighbor -- says the Islamic republic supports a "united" Iraq and will help the nation "establish full security," an Iranian news agency reported. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at a news conference with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki after private talks were held on Tuesday, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported. It is al-Maliki's first visit to Iran since he became prime minister earlier this year. "Iran will provide assistance to the Iraqi government to establish full security. We believe strengthening the Iraqi government is tantamount to promoting security, peace and friendship in that country," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/09/12/iraq.iran/index.html As Max would say "What could possibly go wrong?"
After a few years of negative recruiting, we now have a new and serious member of the coalition of the willing.
No doubt. It's good that Iran is finally on board...we share a common goal of a 'united Iraq' with majority rule. You can also add Syria to that list...
Isn't it great that the US spend over 300 billion dollars to help make Iran more powerful in the region, nice going Bush.
It was done: "The rapid response by Syrian guards won rare praise from the United States, which accuses President Bashar Assad's regime of supporting terrorism in its backing of Hezbollah guerrillas and Palestinian militants. White House spokesman Tony Snow also thanked Syrian officials and called for Damascus to "become an ally and make the choice of fighting against terrorists.''" http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/world/4182708.html
