WASHINGTON -- During a tense seven-hour meeting in Baghdad yesterday, the United States accepted an Iranian proposal to set up a joint committee on security in Iraq, marking a major shift in US policy toward engagement with the Iranian regime....So put the bad guys on the committee, I guess. Might work. Worked pretty well in seventh grade, but then the issue was litter in the lunchroom. Who knows now.
“We'll see what they do,” Crocker said. “Over the last two months, we have seen, if anything, an increase [in, they say, attacks by Iranian-sponsored militia groups]. They maintain that they are serious about assisting Iraq to improve security. The opportunity is in front of them.”
This might, of course, be good news indeed. It might mean Commander Guy and his gang have finally achieved, in their Iraq policy, the sophistication of seventh graders. But more likely, as we know - you know we know, Bunky - our foreign policy has now become oh what the hell why not.
