| Iran: Khamenei Tells Talabani US Troops Must Leave Iraq |
| 2006-11-28 |
| Tehran, 28 Nov. (AKI) - Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei told Iraqi president Jalal Talabani on Tuesday that US-led forces must leave Iraq for violence to end in the country. "The first step to solve the security issue in Iraq is the exit of the occupiers from this country and leaving the security issues to the people-based Iraqi government," Followed by steps 2,3,4,... Khamenei was quoted as saying by Iranian state television. Talabani, who speaks Farsi, was also scheduled to meet Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for a second time on Tuesday, reportedly to discuss trade and energy agreements (see steps 2,3,4,... above) . Western powers have repeatedly accused Iran of actively promoting sectarian conflict in Iraq - a charge denied by Tehran. Same old song Talabani told reporters after landing in Tehran Monday for the two-day visit: "We need Iran's comprehensive help to fight terrorism, restore security and stabilize Iraq." Looks like they got the natural gas thing going The Iraqi president, whose Patriotic Union of Kurdistan had in the past been backed by Iran, was supposed to travel to Iran on Saturday but the visit was postponed because of the security clampdown imposed across Baghdad after Sunni insurgents killed more than 200 people in Sadr City on Thursday in the deadliest attack by militants since the US-led war began in March 2003. |

| #5 Various Bloggers > SADDAM may need to be saved from execution becuz the SHIA-SUNNI VIOLENCE in iraq shows = proves that Muslims can only be effectively handled/governed thru MUSLIM/ISLAM-SPECIFIC TYRANNY, OPPRESSION + DESPOTISM, NOT DEMOCRACY AS PER THE WESTERN TRADITIONS. In short, BACK-TO-THE-FUTURE 1980's > the USA-West ironically needs Saddam to kill everybody + espec to save Iraq-ME from Iran. PRAVDA,ru approxi/roughly agrees. |

| #4 I'm intrigued by this kabuki dance we are seeing in which Talabani goes to Iran at the same time Maliki goes to Jordan...Iran demands US withdrawal while the UNSC re-ups the commitment for another year. It feels as if something major is going to unwind in the next few months. Are things coming to a head or is it just me? W. the president and prime minister gone, would this not be the perfect time to install a government in exile and wack Al Sadr? |

| #3 Hmm.... move the troops from Iraq to Iran and from Afghanistan to NW PakiWakiLand and let Israel take out Syria. Oh and take out that 40km x 10km strip of land of Saudi Arabia which is funding all the terrorist organizations. Hell we'll be accused of blood for oil anyway we may as well get something out of it.... |
