US Eyeing Partnership With Iran To Defend Iraqi Government

Here’s an even better idea: we stay out of it. We don’t get involved in another country’s civil war. We don’t waste on more American life in a battle that is not ours.

    Saudi Arabia thinks it can appease its extremists by funding them to expand into Iraq, not so fast, apparently Iran isn’t as bad as the worst of Arabia’s fundies.

      Its all IRAN’s fault and now they are teaming up with Syria ?

        Correct, wait till the “Spring” hits Arabia, bloodshed? We ain’t seen nothing yet.

        Knock knock Saudi Arabia, you can only oppress and bribe your way along for oh so long.

          Don’t even have to wait for spring
          The mecca is always going to be a breading ground for the sharia law abiding citizens who don’t have to show their IDs at the gate ( if you know what I mean ) keep it under your hat because the right thinks all of us libs are gullible.

    “It’s not as if the U.S. and Iran haven’t dealt with each other before.”
    Too true. The Reagan campaign had a secret deal with Iran to KEEP the hostages (the embassy hostages) until after he was sworn in.
    Reagan again had a secret deal to releases hostages held by Iranian sympathizers later on.

    Iran’s decision to send in millitary aid is nothing more than a pre-emptive attempt to keep another regime upright that is falling to popular discontent and preserve the string of friendly governments it is seeking to boost in the region. Iran’s mullahs recognize
    correctly that their precarious hold on regional power under strict Shiite control is in danger of slipping and as such have to go all in to preserve it. It’s an old recipe for them they have already practiced in Syria for two years. The irony here is the perception that the West and Iran might both be on the same side of supporting Maliki which is a dangerous assumption to make.

    Just as backing other strongmen in the region has turned out poorly for the US, sticking by Maliki would also be a mistake. It should set off warning bells anytime the US and Iran find themselves on the same side of any issue.
