Oh, the fucking irony: Iraq Asks Iran For Security Help...

[CatWoman]

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Sept. 13 — Violence flared across Baghdad today, as 60 bodies were reported found and at least 18 people died in attacks on the police, a day after Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki traveled to Iran to seek support in quelling the conflicts that threaten to fracture his country.

The American military today reported the deaths of two soldiers, one killed by a roadside bomb south of Baghdad late Tuesday, the other killed on Monday in combat in Anbar province in the country’s west.

In Tehran, Mr. Maliki met with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and declared afterwards that “even in security issues, there is no barrier in the way of cooperation.”

For his part, Mr. Ahmadinejad said, “Iran will give its assistance to establish complete security in Iraq, because Iraq’s security is Iran’s security.” It was not clear what form Iranian support on security would take, or how it would be regarded by the American authorities here.
