US accuses Iran of "unhelpful activities" in Iraq

[maddezmom]

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. officials in Iraq on Friday again accused Iran of meddling in its neighbor's internal affairs, saying the Islamic Republic was carrying out "unhelpful activities" there.

A U.S. embassy statement said Washington was "concerned about unhelpful Iranian activities in Iraq. These concerns are well known and we have talked about them."

The statement was issued one day after Iran said it accepted a proposal by a leading Iraqi Shi'ite leader to open a dialogue with the United States on Iraq.

Also on Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she believed U.S. talks with Iran on stabilizing Iraq would be "useful."

1. The "worm has turned."

Iran, IMO, is involved in some of the goings-on in Iraq. However, the new US position, shows that we, the US, do not have the support for an attack on Iran. This is a stalemate. This is a good thing.

The Bush regime continues to lose power.
