Take the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on Saturday, the US forces' withdrawal from Iraq by the end of this year, well, he said he expected that this will lead to a change in relations between Tehran and Baghdad.

Yeah it gives Iran a better chance of invading Iraq.We paid big time for where Iraq is today,1.3 trillion dollars and over 4K of our troops killed,just to walk away.So what happends when Iran moves in?Do we go back and do it all over again?This is a stupid move by a inept President that wants to impress his fan base.

Semper Fi !!!

And I would believe that to be true if Iran had someone besides Ahmadinejad as president and allowed the Iranians to prosper as individuals rather than under the thumb of a repressive government.

I do agree but devils advocate.....they had a signed agreement from Nov 2008 that states the troops will be out of Iraq by Dec 2011. If Iraq does not want to negotiate or renew what is the US supposed to do? Use force? Do we really want our troops there without immunity? I think not.

I think Iran knows they cannot militarily take over Iraq...but that they can sneak in and take over before anyone is aware that they are....Iraq seems to be unaware of the danger.

The stupid loudmouth, Sadr, wants Iran to have immunity to walk in the back door, if not even the front one. And the other leaders seem to be trying to walk a fine line between Sadr and what they want for the new GOI. These leaders seem naive regarding their ability to stave off the their enemies, and Sadr is threatening them and holding them hostage. I think all of this would change if Sadr were taken out. Actually, I wish some wise, brave soul (an Iraqi patriot??) would do it. Otherwise, I foresee that we will have to go back in someday soon. Of course, we can't count on wisdom from Obama. He is in his "grab-votes, all-systems-go" mode and is currently pandering to an element of his base that wants U. S. operations to end as abruptly as possible in Iraq. In the face of that, Obama is more than willing to risk losing all we have gained in Iraq.
