My message was mainly that I wanted Bush impeached for the lies and treason that got us there and I wanted someone who knew what they were doing to take over this horrible situation!

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.

Iraq signs a pact in Tehran agreeing to accept Iranian military training and other cooperation.

Former foes Iraq and Iran announced “a new chapter” in their relations on Thursday, including cross-border military co-operation, dismissing US concerns about Iranian regional meddling.

On his first official visit to Tehran, Iraqi minister of defence Saadoun al-Dulaimi asserted his country’s sovereign right to seek help from wherever it sees fit in rebuilding its defence capabilities.

“Nobody can dictate to Iraq its relations with other countries,” Mr Dulaimi said in a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart, Admiral Ali Shamkhani.

The two ministers said that a military co-operation agreement, now in the preparation, would include Iranian help with training and upgrading Iraq’s reconstituted armed forces, a process so far overseen by US and coalition advisers.

2. GWB said he'd leave if asked. They are asking quite loudly now.

What part of "We don't want you here," doesn't he understand?

3. Anyone know...

How many members make up the Iraqi parliament total?

[manic expression]

4. I believe it is 275

However, the parlaiment doesn't have any power, and the US calls all the shots. Why has Iraq and US Policies in Iraq not changed at all since the elections? Because it's a puppet government that has no meaning whatsoever.

5. That's correct. I found a FAQ stating that same number. nt.
