Bill Bradley: That’s wrong.
According to whom? The Iranians?
Nothing was ‘brokered’ in Iran through Obama-style negotiations. Maliki sent his delegation with the evidence that he has been lied to by the Iranians. He told them to cut it out. They responded with the usual denial but in a few days the results were seen with the capitulation of Sadr City now under the joint security of US and Sons of Iraq.
Seems to me that what went on in Iran was Bush-style instead of Obama-style.
“It’s in Prime Minister al-Maliki’s hands right now, the evidence as to whether or not he’s been lied to – bald-faced lied to – by the Iranian government,” Sattler told a Pentagon news conference.
“The evidence inside Baghdad has been shared with the Iraqi leadership, and that’s where it stands right now,” he added.
“The truth came out; there is evidence of Iranian weapons in Iraq,” he said. “Now we need to document who sent them.”
Dabbagh said the high-level committee was formed three days ago and includes officials from the Interior and Defense Ministries.
“First and foremost, it’s an attempt to say: ‘Hey, listen: we know what you are up to. This is not helpful. Cut it out!’”
