Allies
Nice to know that our "allies" in Iraq are fully in support of our middle eastern mission:
One of Iraq's most powerful Shia politicians has condemned the arrest of Iranians by US forces in Iraq as an attack on the country's sovereignty.

The comments by Abdel Aziz al-Hakim, made in a BBC interview, are seen as the strongest expression yet of Iraq's concern about the US approach to Iran.

They follow two recent US raids in which Iranians were arrested.

The remarks are interesting as Mr Hakim is seen as close to President Bush, says the BBC's Andrew North in Baghdad.
Not.

The Kurds are not too happy about the Iranian dententions either. But I'll bet the Sunni's would support Bushy on this one!
