Iraqi president: Syria exporting terror, Iran great danger

[ECH1969]

Iraqi President Jalal Talabani accused Syria of exporting terrorism to Iraq and Iran of posing a great danger to his country.

He warned that a premature American withdrawal "will plunge Iraq immediately in a devastating civil war," stressing that "Iraq will not take that risk especially that 200,000 Iranian soldiers are stationed at the border and might seek to fill the vacuum."

Talabani accused its western neighbor Syria of being "the main source of terrorism, while Iran poses a great danger."

"Turkey is yet another threat to Iraq, which no longer recognizes the treaty signed with Ankara allowing it to send troops some 40 kilometers (25 miles) inside Iraqi territory," Talabani said.

1. Help mom, there's boogeymen under my bed!

Talabani is as big a threat to Iraq as Iran, Syria and Turkey combined.

As a Kurd, he has his own ulterior motives and is about as trustworthy as the rest of them.

For the last 50 years he's been pushing for an independent Kurdish state.

3. Well, Well

So the proposal of Iran didn`t work, so now we are going to try Syria (sometime after November)


"He said he expected to eradicate terrorism in Iraq within the current year." Right around October.
