Iranian Official: We're Open To The Idea Of Working with Americans In Iraq

Tehran is open to the possibility of working with the United States to support Baghdad, the senior official said.

"We can work with Americans to end the insurgency in the Middle East," the official said, referring to events in Iraq.

For many years, Iran has been aggrieved by what it sees as U.S. efforts to marginalize it. Tehran wants to be recognized as a significant player in regional security.

Sunni Days
Sweepin’ Shiites away
On my way to where the dogs retreat...
Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to al-Rasheed Street

Come, join the fray
Allah says, we’re OK
Freedom fighters there
That’s where we’ll meet...

Can you tell me how to get
How to get to al-Rasheed Street.

Here’s another brain twister. The Kurds said screw it and grabbed the North. The Turks are saying screw that and are gearing up. Under NATO, we may have to join with the Turks to go after the Kurds-our one true ally. Mind boggling. That would never hapen. That would be like going after the Serbs. Oh, wait...

Thanks… but you can’t avoid the element of tragedy there – these people have no compunction about obliterating each other, based on what happened to somebody’s nephew or other 15 hundred years ago.

Wherever you stood on the original intent of going into Iraq, basically abandoning it when the current Administration came in was equivalent to “leaving our men behind” in terms of the blood & treasure expended in that hell-hole.

It is bizarre and I’m confused. I thought Iran was funding Al Quaeda in both Afghanistan and Iraq to defeat us and the regimes we created.

Now we’re funding Al Quaeda in Syria. Iran is fighting against Al Quaeda in Iraq and wanting to partner with us.

Meanwhile Iran still calls for death to the U.S.

Meanwhile Trump took an interesting position. He said “Iraq told us to get out, Iraq is now falling, and Iraq now wants us to come back! Don’t do it unless we get the OIL, and I mean ALL OF IT!”

You should be confused. The only person that had the situation correct has been Glenn Beck, said that Iran was working with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, in the hope of forming an Islamic Caliphate across the Middle East. This Islamic Caliphate was also the agenda of Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett.

The idea was that the MB was already an established institution, even though they were clearly terrorist. They (Iran and the Obama administration) thought that the MB had enough credibility to unite the Shiite and Sunni Muslims if Iran agreed. The idea was to spread Sharia law across the Middle East, meted out by the more moderate Muslim Brotherhood. (at least the MB claims to be more moderate than ISIS.

The problems started when Morsi told Obama to butt out and handed him the same list of demands that were laid out by Osama Bin Laden in 1998. Morsi called a Peace plan but they are really terms of surrender, US surrender that is. Obama has been working on the terms, but not fast enough and that is what was behind the protest in Cairo and the Benghazi attack.

The pressure was on the MB because Assad and the ISIS people were already fighting in Syria. The MB knew that if ISIS took control away from the MB, any unification of Sunnis and Shiites was out of the question.

So now, Iran is asking for the US to come back in and save the day for the unification of the caliphate, Obama’s dream.

So, what will Obama do?
