Iraq Asks Iran To Stop Flow Of Militants

[ECH1969]

Iraq's prime minister made his first official visit to Iran on Tuesday, asking Tehran to prevent al-Qaida militants from slipping across the border to carry out attacks, an Iraqi official said. Iran's president promised to help Iraq establish security.

Haidar al-Obadi, a parliament member from al-Maliki's Dawa Party, said "there are al-Qaida members and al-Qaida strongholds in Iran."

He said the militants have been "taking advantage of the long border" to smuggle weapons and people into Iraq "most likely without the Iranian government's knowledge."

Chalabi we know about. What about the other ones?

4. Chalabi isn't in this government

Not sure about anyone else.

5. Iraq Asks Iran To Stop Flow Of Militants.........

and continues "we have plenty for now, thanks...will be in touch....good luck in Basheer....Remember our bet, you guys get $100 if you can goad the US into attacking your nuke sites, $200 if you can trick them into putting troops on the ground." Signed - Yours Truly, West Iran

6. If I were Iran...

Since Haidar al-Obadi admits it's being done without Iran's knowledge, I'd tell him to ask the U.S. and his own troops to stop the flow.

Why should Iran get involved since nothing they do will placate the U.S.?



As a matter of fact, Iran helped Bush out by detaining terrorists and handing them over to the U.S. after 9/11. Iran also allowed the U.S. to use Iran as a rendition country.

And what did Iran get in return?

A place in Bush's axis of evil.
