Iran says U.S. departure would calm Iraq

TEHRAN, Iran - Supreme Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told the visiting Iraqi prime minister Wednesday that the way to end instability in Iraq is for U.S. forces to withdraw.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was on the second day of his first visit to Iran since he taking office in May, looking to a close ally of his Shiite-led government for help in calming the violence tearing apart Iraq and in developing Iraq‘s troubled oil industry.

With Iraq torn by sectarian violence between Shiite and Sunni Muslims, as well as a Sunni-led insurgency, the United States has frequently accused the Iranian regime of interfering in Iraqi politics and allowing insurgents to cross the border. Tehran denies that.

But Khamenei — who holds the final word in all political matters in Iran — made clear Iran wants to see the withdrawal of U.S. troops, which he blamed in part for the turmoil plaguing Iraq.

5. Yeah but considering the source
that will only serve to encourage the chimperor to stay. Can't have Iran getting friendly with OUR Iraqi oil fields.

7. I'm surprised many do not grasp the signifigance of Base building in Iraq
.
.
.

The USA has almost completed 12 bases in Iraq - foregoing rebuilding infrastructure, hospitals and schools . .

They ain't leaving.

They have their major toehold in the Middle East -

then on to Moscow and China.

Iraq was not about Saddam or terrorism -

It was about the PNACers continuing their goal of Global conquest.

And sadly

The world is not just sitting idly by letting them do it

They are helping them with stuff like the so-called "Coalition of the Willing" and sanctions on countries they wish to conquer.

Iraq was wimped out before "shock and awe" with sanctions

The US didn't attack them until they knew they were defenseless.

USA - "home of the brave" indeed -

friggen cowards if'n ya ask me .
