Iran's Ahmadinejad may visit Iraq - report
19 Aug 2007 18:57:33 GMT

TEHRAN, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad has accepted an invitation to visit
neighbouring Iraq, Iran's foreign minister said on
Sunday, a move that would be unlikely to be welcomed
by the United States.

Foreign Minister Manoucher Mottaki said Iraqi Prime
Minister Nuri al-Maliki had invited Ahmadinejad after
Maliki visited Tehran on Aug. 8-9, but added a final
decision had yet to be taken.

"When a definite decision about the trip is made, the
timing will be announced to the public," Mottaki told
reporters in the northeastern city of Mashhad,
according to the ISNA news agency.

With Shi'ite Muslims now also in power in Baghdad, ties
have strengthened between the two oil-rich states
since 2003, when U.S. forces toppled Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein, a Sunni Arab who waged an eight-
year war against Shi'ite Iran in the 1980s.

1. A move that would be unlikely to be welcomed by the United States?

That comment should be immediately inducted into the Hall of Massive Understatements.

2. Imperialist Bush Plans War On Iran

~~~ As with Saddam and his imagined WMD, the Administration's case against the IRGC is circumstantial. The U.S. military suspects but cannot prove that the IRGC is the main supplier of sophisticated improvised explosive devices to insurgents killing our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The most sophisticated version, explosive formed projectiles or shape charges, are capable of penetrating the armor of an Abrams tank, disabling the tank and killing the crew. ~~~


Yet, once again, the problem is Democratic Party compliance with Bush - to this day they refuse to demand proof of these treasonous claims from Bush.

3. I guess Bush is going to have to have another talk with al Maliki. nt
