Over at Diana Wests website some not too surprising, but none-the-less deeply disturbing news reports have surfaced which demonstrate that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and exiled anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr (photo above) are all more than casually involved in deciding the final outcome of Iraqs recent election results. Emissaries from the highest levels of Prime Minister Nouri al-Malikis government have already met in Tehran with all of the afore-named, hoping to secure the blessings of the Shiite Muslim coalition that governs Iran, and return al-Maliki to his current office. Any eyebrows up yet?
Not being a man to come to a conclusion without at least a preponderance of evidence to support one, it is not possible to disbelieve that Iran is calling some big shots in Iraqs political future. If you are wondering how this can possibly be happening, or if I have somehow mistaken the facts of the situation, here are direct links to news accounts (again with thanks to Diana West) and you can examine them closely to discern for yourself what is going on in Iraq. Notice that not one of the reports originated within the United States.

DYNAMIC DUO LEAD CHARGE ON IRAN
These guys?
They could also get Jimmy Carter who would align with Iran on this one !
If this be true, it means that Bush made a major strategic blunder by invading Iraq without intentions of conquering!
Now the Old Persian Empire is back as a monolith shiite entity.
Dr. Savage pointed this out early on when Bush invaded.
Some of us tried to warn about Maliki’s Iranian sympathies when he was first elected. This is not a surprise. He played Paul Bremer and the US State Dept. for fools.
Ditto...our lives, money, prestige...their Islamist win. History will be unkind if this happens, and is beginning even now to be unkind. We are declaring victory in Iraq, prematurely, and Turkey, with the current administrations approval, is moving anti-Israel, and also is moving pro-Iranian even as Obama appeases Iran. Turkey says Islam is Islam with regard to terrorism, and Iran chants death to Israel and the US....we must simply take them at their word. Diplomacy times 3 and to infinity is achieving nothing. Iran and Iraq win, we and Europe lose. The way out for the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, if ever, can only be achieved if Iran is taken out of the equation. The current administration is looking at everything backward.
