I was going to say that this is all part of a deliberate plan to pass the Iraqi mess to Iran and let responsibility for it undermine the Irani regime.But that's silly. Our two primary goals in Iraq are controlling the oil and establishing permanent bases. Neither of which Iran would support.
No, all this is a sign of how uncontrolable what we created in Iraq is.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived Sunday in Baghdad for the first-ever visit by an Iranian president to Iraq, walking a red carpet past Iraqi troops to meet the president of a once-bitter enemy nation that's now under growing Iranian influence.[more]
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani greeted Ahmadinejad at his car and the two kissed four times on the cheeks in the traditional fashion. A military honor guard saluted the two and a band played the two countries' national anthems as they walked slowly down the red carpet at Talabani's headquarters.
The visit gives Ahmadinejad a chance to highlight the relationship his nation has with post-Saddam Hussein Iraq while also serving as an act of defiance toward the U.S., which accuses Iran of training and giving weapons to Shiite extremists in Iraq.
