1. HOW MANY MOU WILL IRAQ SIGN?
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.09.08)
What else could the MOU include?Rather tricky and uncertainty of such a deal materialising without MAJOR problems at the other end between Iraq and USA so-called long-term defence agreement.Was this deal signed in Tehran to PROVOKE problems for Iraq to sign yet another agreement with USA. Will anyone contribute his/her thoughts?
2. Another Iranian client-state.

What a success for American Mid-East policy. America lost 4,000 soldiers killed, who knows how many wounded, & spent literally 100's of Billions of Dollars ..... So that Iraq would become Iran's ally. Positively brilliant.
3. What Bush accomplished in Iraq
Marcel ,   Florida   (06.09.08)
Under dictator Saddam,Iran and Iraq were divided,mortal enemies. Now ,thanks to Israel's fasle messiah and false peacemaker Iran and Iraq are A united radical Islamic republic. I wonder how long israel will stay in denial about the one they place such great faith in for theri peace and security. Idol worship always leads to pain and suffering ,Return to Hashem,house of Israel.
4. MAKING OF THEIR(USA) OWN,TERRY....#2
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (06.09.08)
I don't think that the strategists in USA did not know of the possible outcome of what you have written.It is just that the politicians over did their antagonism afgainst Iran and by thus doing whatever little Iranians could offer to be able to get and give by way of bilateral relationship with the USA,was lost with course of time.Today,the leaders in Iran and USA find it difficult to even begin talking to each other as they are left with no COMMON INTEREST which,fortunately,DID exist at the time USA troops moved into Iraq.
5. Explain to me again why we are there?

The mistake was not attacking Iran first. Nonetheless, once they opted for Iraq, they should have immediately broken up the country into three & left - no nation-building, no aid, no occupation, no "bringing democracy" - and then gone on to attack Iran anyway & allow ethnic minorities in Iran to similarly secede from the Iranian state. At the same time, Israel should have mounted a preemptive attack on Syria & possibly S. Lebanon. You guys are lucky I don't make Middle-East policy ......
