Foreign ministers of Muslim countries on Thursday pledged cooperation with Iraqi authorities to help end a bloody insurgency waged there by Iraqis and foreign Arabs.
Ministers of member states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) meeting in Yemen agreed to help "rebuild Iraq and enabling the Iraqi government to maintain security and stability," Yemeni Foreign Minister Abubakr al-Qirbi told reporters.
Iraq's Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari said on Wednesday he held informal talks in Sanaa with officials from neighboring states about foreigners coming to fight in Iraq.
Several countries who share a border with Iraq including Kuwait, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Turkey, are all OIC members.
The insurgency against U.S. forces and the U.S.-backed Iraqi government has become deadlier since a new cabinet took power in April.
Foreign ministers also called for the disarming of factions in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, which they said were "obstructing" a long-delayed return of the fledgling Somali government to the lawless Horn of Africa nation.
Somalia's president and parliament speaker failed to agree in discussions held in Sanaa last week on where the government should be based during talks aimed at restoring central rule after 14 years.
The foreign ministers' meeting also approved granting Russia observer member status and agreed to form committees to redraft the OIC charter next year.
The OIC summit, to be held in Mecca, Saudi Arabia later this year, is expected to ratify the decisions put forth at the foreign ministers' meeting.
Believe it when I see it!
I'll believe it when I see it.
Yeah, well their koran tells them to lie to the infidel.
Talk, talk, talk.....
I'm cautiously optimistic about this.
Iran and Syria are two countries where most of these "insergents" recieve thier support and use as a staging area.
Talk talk talk is all it is.
"Foreign ministers of Muslim countries on Thursday pledged cooperation with Iraqi authorities to help end a bloody insurgency waged there by Iraqis and foreign Arabs."
You betcha! Why I'll just bet they all jumped in and got to work on that right away. Uh huh, sure...
I know.
But I'm still optimistic.
I won't believe it...even AFTER I see it!
Well, don't be. KILL the enemy until he surrenders. Their psychopathic behavior determines that in the first place, I'm not being melodramatic or overly harsh, these animals need to be treated like rabid dogs. All the libs decry, "no exit strategy, no exit strategy". Yes, we have an exit strategy, it is called VICTORY, UNCONDITIONAL, NO COMPROMISE VICTORY. Then turn that miserable country over to them and come back home, but not before. The sacrifice of our soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen MUST be honored, anything less is a gross insult and unacceptable.
SAY NO to Boxer, Pelosi, Clintoon, Dean, Durbin, my God, the list goes on and on but we are beginning to focus on these traitors, sell-outs and defeatists. Write them and in no uncertain terms, tell them what you think.
Dang it!
First thing that popped into my mind when I read this.
Yeah. Right.
NOTHING has prevented these nations up until this very minute from actively eradicating:
1. Allowing free flow of bodies through their borders.
2. Tolerating madrassas in their countries which teach hate first and the quran second.
3. Allowing totally visible training centers for all the craftsmanship of terrorism.
4. Allowing the collection and dissemination of funds for the explicit support of terrorism.
Talk is cheap. Muslim talk is below cheap.
Help like how? Besides expiring aspiring bombers?
Cautiously optimistic is right. Even them saying it is a good step and an improvement, but in terms of actual action, well, Ill believe it when I see it.
What's wrong with this picture?
Nothing really.
Ignore what they say and watch what they do.
But only if you wish to survive.
Dog--ping...
Their promises are the hope of fools..
