Too late. It appears that Al Malaki has handed off control of the military to Irani Al Quds leader.

Andrew Neil (Chairman Spectator Magazines (London); ITP Magazines (Dubai); World Media Rights (New York). BBC presenter.) reports via twitter.....

>>Major-General Qassem Suleimani, leader of Iran’s elite Quds force, is now running operations, say Iraqi officials.<<

Ah, I get it.

The Iranians save our Iraqi bacon and Obama spins is as, “I succeeded in proactively ENGAGING IRAN…”

Right?

Something like that.

Sort of like, “It’s not a bug, it’s a FEATURE…”

FLASHBACK:

VALERIE JARRETT, CHICAGO, AND THE IRAN DEAL

26 Nov 2013

Last week, the Times of Israel reported that senior presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett had been leading talks with Iran in secret for a year before the formal negotiations in Geneva this month. While the White House denied the report “100 percent,” the existence of back-channel talks has been confirmed by other reporting. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that President Barack Obama had “personally overseen” the talks.

Bet Kerry is busy selling the farm (mmm, giving away the farm).

I never thought I’d have to resort to AlJazeera TV to get updates. Sickening.

Dialogue??? HaHaHaHaHaHaHa! Only the stupidest, narcissistic, self-deluded idiots could possibly think any kind of conversation with Iran over the security of Iraq would be a “dialogue”. Oh, yeah. I forgot who the POTUS and SECSTATE are. The Iranians are going to really enjoy this, laughing their butts off after having a “dialogue” with the United States of Obama.

We have to take all of our Democrats over to Iraq. We take them to these places of slaughter. You grab them by the back of the neck with your left hand and rub their nose in the gore while whacking them on the head with a rolled-up newspaper and yelling, “Bad Democrat! Bad, bad Democrat! Don’t ever do this again!”
It’s the only way to teach them. They’re too stupid and greedy to learn any other way.

Well there’s two alternatives for the US if they are determined to be involved in the Middle East, they can work with the Shiite Iranians or their arch-rivals the Sunni Saudis.

The Iranians haven’t actually attacked the US in about thirty years, Iran, despite being an Islamic Republic tolerates other religions, there are many Christians and indeed Jews living peacefully in Iran. Last year the Iranians elected a president with the specific mandate of ending Iran’s isolation and reaching out to the US. The Iranians are supporting the democratically elected government of Iraq, the democratic government that the US spent billions and thousands of lives getting installed. Iranians are much more open to the west and used to be America’s best friend in the region.

Or the US could continue to what it has being doing for decades; using its military as the House of Saud’s foreign legion, protecting the oil fields the feeble Saudi military could not defend, while the Saudis, who loathe America and the west, fund the Sunni and Wahabi extremists who are currently fighting in Syria and Iraq.

Oh and the men who attacked America on 9/11 were not Iranians but almost to a man Sunni Saudis led by a Sunni Saudi.

Yeah, I can see why the US wouldn’t want to side with Iran in this fight, er, maybe.

It won’t be a dialogue but negotiations at best. The IRGC commander who is in Iraq now is Qasem Soleimani. He is also an Iraq-Iran War (1980s) veteran. Since ISIS also consists of many former Saddam loyalists, there will be no love lost. It is in Iranian regime’s interest to ensure ISIS at least doesn’t takeover the Shi’ite parts of Iraq. Soleimani is also the guy who has been helping fight ISIS in Syria.

Iran can and does wrap Obama and Kerry around their little finger. They will fall for anything.

..... Uh Huh ..... And Iraq will request that they be able to build nuclear reactors and maintain a full array of nukes for self defense in response to the request for help .... and Obama will agree, then breath a huge sigh of relief because he was afraid that Iran would request the release of HVT’s from Gitmo. He will actually believe that he has dodged another bullet and brokered a sound and fair deal and, once again, be astonished at the angry reaction of the American people at the agreement.

Why? Any talks would be a waste of time, effort and US tax dollars.
