So, is Maliki an appeaser?

[ck4829]

Iraq's prime minister sought to ease Iranian fears over a proposed security deal with the U.S. Sunday, saying his government will not allow Iraq to become a launching pad for an attack on its neighbor.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Sunday in talks expected to focus on the security pact, which Washington and Baghdad hope to finish by mid-summer.

An aide to al-Maliki said the prime minister is offering assurances in the talks that the U.S. presence in his country is no threat to Iran. But al-Maliki also planned to complain that Iran's public campaign against the agreement interfered in Iraq's internal affairs, the aide said, speaking on condition of anonymity in return for giving information on the private talks.

The proposed security agreement aims to establish a long-term security arrangement between Iraq and the U.S. Iran fiercely opposes the proposal, saying it will lead to permanent American bases on its doorstep, reflecting Tehran's fears U.S. forces could attack it.

1. Mr al Maliki, urm,

are you forgetting that cheney makes the rules, not you. And he wants bases, and he'll get them. He wants your former country and he shall have it too. Now sit down and shut up. Oh, and all your (former) oil are belong to us.
