File under: Govt of Syria

#1 The leftie "Iraq is a victory for Iran brigade" are now saying (see Mark Lynch in FP) that the iraqis are falsely accusing Syria, on Irans behest, to under cut the optician's talks with the US. Nice package huh - ties together the meme that we fought the Iraq war to benefit Iran, with the meme that Syria is innocent, and that the talks are going swimmingly. elegant as it is, I find it a bit of a stretch. If its false, and maliki is either telling the truth, or lying for other reasons, it would imply that Iraq is closer to US interests and further from Irans than advertised.
