Iraqi Speaker Warns of Neighboring Countries Meddling After U.S. Troops Leave

Limiting Iran's influence in Baghdad was a top U.S. pitch to keep American troops in Iraq past the Dec. 31 withdrawal deadline set in a 2008 security agreement.

Yes, all the smart people in the world understand this, when the U.S. pulls out of Iraq, Insanity Islamic style will ensue.

But really, what are we supposed to do, the Iraq Government has stated that it can not ensure the safety of U.S. troops against their laws; in other words our troops will be subject to prosecution under Iraqi(Sharia)Laws, and that would not be a good thing.

Imagine all the false accusations we hear about in the Islamic world towards their own people and the justice that is served on them (Usually death) now put American soldiers in the mix.

Iraq will fall deeper into silly Muslim land with the help of Iran and other countries, we can do nothing about it; our troops need to come home now before anything else happens to them.

The funny thing is, even the Iraqi people know this; and they accept it.

The speaker of Iraq's parliament on Monday accused neighboring nations of meddling in Iraqi affairs and signaled it will only get worse if the country is seen as vulnerable after U.S. troops leave at the end of the year.
Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi, a Sunni Muslim, did not name the Mideast nations and did not offer specifics. Iraq's Sunnis long have worried about Iran's burgeoning influence in Baghdad, where the Shiite-dominated government has built ties with Tehran since the 2003 fall of Saddam Hussein.

Top U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, voiced similar concerns over the weekend.
"Iraq now suffers from points of weakness," al-Nujaifi told a news conference in Baghdad. "If neighboring countries see that Iraq is weak and incapable of protecting its borders and internal security, then definitely there will be interference. This interference does exist now."
Limiting Iran's influence in Baghdad was a top U.S. pitch to keep American troops in Iraq past the Dec. 31 withdrawal deadline set in a 2008 security agreement. Washington has feared that meddling by Iran, a Shiite Muslim theocracy, could inflame tensions between Iraq's majority Shiites and minority Sunnis, setting off a chain reaction of violence and disputes across the Mideast.
