I wonder will the US acquiesce to the desires of The President of Iraq. We'll have to see whether his opinion matters at all in so-called 'sovereign' Iraq...
I'd like to see the responses of some of the smug neo-cons if this ever does come to pass!!!!
Although there is nothing to suggest that what President Talabani has called for would end violence "within months", this development certainly made me chuckle heartily. To endorse the plan would represent a complete and utter turnaround on the part of the US administration. Essentially it would be like Bush admitting he was wrong and that his plan for Iraq is, was and always has been, a failure. Whatsmore it would mean that the US administration would be giving two members of the so-called 'Axis of Evil' their stamp of approval and allowing them to exert their influence in Iraq!! The Iranian administration must be rubbing their hands with glee as we speak. What a humiliating potential eventuality for the US. And what a kick in the teeth for those soldiers who served their country only to have them essentially cede control of Iraq to two supposed enemies!!!!BBC wrote:
Talabani backs 'Iran-Syria plan'
Violence in Iraq could end "within months" if Iran and Syria joined efforts to stabilise the country, says Iraqi President Jalal Talabani. He told the BBC the move would "be the beginning of the end of terrorism".
The suggestion is said to come from a panel of US experts who are reportedly considering calling for a big change in US policy on Iraq. The panel, led by a former US secretary of state (who served under George Bush), is also said to think that "staying the course" is untenable.
The task force, which was asked by the US Congress to examine the effectiveness of American policy in Iraq, has reportedly been looking at two options, both of which would amount to a reversal of the Bush administration's stance.
