BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Iraq's prime minister announced plans to visit Iran on Monday, just days after his deputy returned from the country, accompanied by several top officials.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki will spend two days in Iran, the Cabinet said in a statement Saturday.

The trip "is to confirm the establishment of friendly and balanced relations based on common interest and respect of the sovereignty of the two countries without any interference in internal affairs," the statement said.

This week al-Maliki's deputy prime minister, Barham Saleh, visited Tehran as head of a delegation that included the minister of state for foreign affairs, and the ministers of trade, planning and finance.

Nice of Bush to get rid of Saddam so Iraq can have normalized relations with Iran again. Heck of a job, Georgie, heck of a job.
