US aims to help Iraq target 'terror groups'
2013-10-31
[Al Ahram] The United States is aiming to help the Iraqi government battle an increasing threat from Al-Qaeda linked terror groups with military sales and intelligence sharing, a US official said Wednesday. "We do want to help the Iraqis develop the capability to target these networks effectively and precisely," the bigwig said, after a two-hour meeting between US Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
 and Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki.

#6  I'm confused. AQ is our ally in Syria but our enemy in Iraq? I afraid our foreign policy is either non-existent or in a shambles.

#5  I know that as the owner and client of the tee party, Barry is a bit busy right now, but does Kerry the Longjowls have a promissary not in place preventing the distribution of arms as a promise to the UN? Including Syria, Mexico, Nigeria, Thailand, Phillipines, Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Morrocco, shit out of typing fluid.

The point, if there is not guarantee of weapons falling into the hands of the mentally ill..such as Denver Boy Blunder...then the wholesale export of arms to known islamists should also be denied. You know, Constitutional Lawyer type thoughtpatternamamathings.

Mr. Maliki, I have not always agreed with you. Not going to the mat to keep US trainers upping your forces now has chickens in the roost. That Biden is on your assignment should tell you what you need to know, and good luck to ya.

#4  Of course, if the Obama Administration had been competent enough to develop a status of forces agreement, this would probably not be necessary; and there might not be any Iranian flights over Iraq!

#3  Not much insurance in my book. Joe understands that a Congress that can take out his boss can take him out too. Joe would be more likely to 'compromise' and 'negotiate' usually with Sen Reid doing the proctology examination on his sock puppet.
