Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey contradicted previous comments from the Pentagon today, saying he believes it is “not impossible” that the US will begin coordinating its military operations in Iraq with Iran.
The Pentagon had previously insisted that there would never be any coordination with Iran, but Gen. Dempsey conceded in today’s interview that there could be situations where, with both sides’ interests coinciding, they could work together.
Gen. Dempsey sought to downplay the significance of this, saying he was clear the US and Iran had different overall interests in Iraq, but the difference realistically seems minimal, with both angling for a situation where a Shi’ite-dominated government remains in power and controlling the entirety of Iraq’s borders.
US officials have suggested previously there were more eager to see Prime Minister Maliki go than Iran was, though Iran’s interest in Maliki has always been in continuing Shi’ite rule, ensuring an ally in Iraq, and all indications are that whoever replaces Maliki will be another Shi’ite, likely one with even closer ties to Iran.
Who cares what these clowns, or rather, israel says ?
A mere 200 year old arrogant settler state built upon the bones of 50 million slaughtered native indians and a continuing history of genocide on a global scale can´t be entrusted to do anything else but brainless destruction. That goes for it´s M.E Zionist-colonial offshoot too. US (israel) has no interest to deal with ISIS at this point. Not before they they "have done" Syria anyway.
If Maliki want to root out this Saudi/US/israeli ISIS menace he would be wise to do exactly what he appears to be doing, invite and coordinate attack on these Saudi apes with Iran & Syria. Since (Ukraine is meant to keep Russia busy while ) ISIS obviously is meant to get back at Russia for the humiliating US defeat in Syria in 2013 AND to split Iraq according to Zionazi desires most notably to their main ally the Kurds, Russia should, and could very well at this point, be invited by both countries (iraq and Syria) to fly air raid sorties on ISIS from Syria and a aircraft carrier in the med. Problem solved within two weeks and another blow to Obombah and his white masters….
Oh oh…logical thinking alert… This guy is toast, for sure.
Yeah, the real question is will AIPAC allow any sort of US partnering with Iran? The answer is NO.
How exactly is this HIS business? Or the business of US to determine how a country is to defend itself from a horrendous terrorist attack that is seizing their terrritory? Especially when US is sending advisors and the drones to protect the advisors, and is unclear if US intends to do much if anything to help Iraq rid itself of the terrorist menace. Seems the opposite is true — with US caring more about which politicians are in power in Baghdad, then the fate of Iraqi people. And to give it all circus-like environment, Obama is asking for 500 milion dollars to fund "moderates" in Syria. Moderates! Where can he find them? First of all, the masked men fighting Assad all have black flags, and they are either sections of Salafi fundamentalists more interested in chopping heads according to proper standards (EU would be impressed), or are part of Al-Qaeda inspired Nusra, or have crossed over to the largest and strongest — ISIS. Free Syrian Army does not exist except in CONCEPT, and some groups still getting money from somewhere in order to keep the brand name going, and justifying the existence of the "government in exile" that we recognized! In the meantime, millions of Syrians have voted for Assad — not because they had to, but because the Army is the only thing standing between them and the terrorist abyss. So, the money will go to ISIS — that we supposedly are AGAINST. But unless State Department has turned rougue — old armament from Easter Europe is being purchased by State Department, as reported in Croatia — our NATO partner. It was paid by Saudi Arabia, and shipped from Croatia's Pleso airport to Turkey and to Jordan. Now — the arms are proudly displayed by ISIS masked men. Makes one wonder where will 500 million end. Again in the pockets of some east European new kleptocracy more then happy to sell their Soviet era weapons to hide tracks of US money on the killing fields of masked men with black flags.
Trust me. The mere possibility will drive Israel insane.
