Iraq seeking to facilitate second US-Iran meeting - Zebari
Iraq seeking to facilitate second US-Iran meeting - Zebari
These meetings never took place and probably never will because Iran has nothing to do with the US. The sole purpose of these meetings probably would have been to influence Iran to minimize the transfer of Military equipment to Shi'ite militia's. Show me a report where Iranian officials took part in a meeting with the U.S officials and representatives from Iraq. Stop quoting Iraqi Shi'ite clerics and portraying them as Iranians because they're not.
Bush-Hakim Meeting: A Signal to Iran? | Newsweek.com
I hope these links are enough to enlighten your views.
Same thing with this article. The meeting never took place and if you read your "own" articles that you're providing for my enlightenment, you'd understand that the purpose of these hints was simply because Iran wants to be seen as a regional power in the region which can influence Shi'ite militia's in Iraq, which have been a problem for the US.
The Iranians "send a very clear message through Hakim," says the Iraqi official. "They want to be recognized and reckoned with."
Are you able to decipher this? Or I suppose you didn't even bother to read the articles?
American officials insist they still consider Hakim's fighters—along with Iraq's other militias—to be a danger to the stability of the Maliki government. A senior U.S. official in Baghdad, who did not want to be identified discussing sensitive diplomacy, said that during the meeting today Bush would reiterate his support for Maliki's government, and press Hakim to help "fix the militia problem."
Once again, start reading the articles you're providing for other people's enlightenment. These meetings weren't planned because "Iran supports the US in Iraq" (A laughable statement by you) but simply because the Iraqi clergy and the US wants less Iranian influence on the Shi'ite militia's who're causing a trouble for the Government of Iraq and which lead to the Shi'ite-Sunni insurgency. Iran provides military aid and equipment to the Shi'ite insurgency across the border which in return has caused numerous problems for the Iraqi government and the US troops in Iraq.
Last reply to you my friend, you have nothing to offer to this debate. It's pretty much like talking to a brick wall.
