Iran to train Iraq Military

This is something to make Bush, Cheny, Rumsfeld and the neo-cons choke on their hot dogs (or caviar, depending on which one of them).

Iraq and Iran have agreed to cooperate on a broad range of military matters with all sorts of new-buddy exchanges. Iran has offered to train the Iraqis.

Iraq has even asked for forgiveness from its erstwhile foe for what that Mother of them all did to the Iranians, like gassing then with western chemical agents, based on US supplied satellite intelligence.

Iran in turn asked Iraq not to have US military bases in their country, as that would promote US and Israeli domination of the region. It must be at the back of the Iranians’ minds that Israel may decide to do a little Pearl Harbour on Iran’s nuclear plants.

The Iraqis hedged around on this issue, saying the security of a new Iraq still needs a US military presence. But Iraq vowed that no one would be permitted to attack Iran or any neighbouring countries from its soil.

Everyone of course knows the Iraqi government can do buggerall if the US attacks Iran, or allows Israeli warplanes to overfly Iraq on the way to the Persian nation.

Be that as it may, Iraq getting together with Iran under a Shiite banner seems to be the ultimate nightmare for the USA, Israeli, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
