Surprise, Surprise!!......Iraqi Parliament Approves US Pact with Simple Majority


Al-Manar

COMMENT: It was a foregone conclusion that the permanent occupation "treaty" will pass. Why? Because Iran gave the nod to its puppets in the Green Zone to approve it. All the delays, "re negotiations," proposed popular referendum to approve it, etc. are shenanigans and cowardice to pass the buck and try to avoid blame while simultaneously signing approval on the dotted line.

This is what you would expect when you have a puppet "government" and "parliament" subservient simultaneously to Washington and Teheran, and protected by occupying U.S. Marines in the Green Zone. Just remember Ahmadinejad's visit to Maliki in the Green Zone; I am sure they were not discussing Iraqi sovereignty.

As I predicted and as I stated before, this is Teheran's love offering to the incoming Obama administration. Hey, what is over a million Iraqis killed? As Madeleine Albright would say, the price was worth it to improve relations between Washington and Tehran.

"The Iraqi parliament on Thursday approved by a vast majority a controversial military pact that will authorize the presence of US occupation troops in Iraq, during a televised session. The accord has drawn fire from certain quarters, including followers of the Muslim Shiite cleric Sayed Moqtada al-Sadr, who reject any agreement with the United States and who protested at the accord in Baghdad on Friday......"
