Iraq Signs Military Pact with Iran
Thu, 7 Jul 2005 22:11:20 -0700Summary:

Here’s an update: The “democratically elected” government of Iraq, much-ballyhooed by the Bush adminstration and its toadies, has signed an agreement of military cooperation with current Bush public enemy number one, Iran.

In other news, 100 “democratically elected” members of the Iraqi parliament have signed a petition demanding that the US withdraw its forces from Iraq immediately.

Note from poster - AND MARK MY WORDS - If they withdraw from Iraq, it's only to regroup and go into Iran.

2. timing
Makes you wonder if the timing of the Bolton recess appointment wasn't meant to deflect public/media attention from these issues. This is major.
