Roads to Iraq

You can imagine the U.S. media frustration with Bush’s failed policies and judgments after his miscalculated tour in the Middle East to rally the Arab states against Iran that ended with protecting the Iranian president.

Although the American occupation military said: Ahmadinejad protection is the responsibility of the Iraqi forces, Alkhaleej editorial says this is “nonsense”:

[Ahmadinejad] Last minute changing plan from entering Iraq cross the borders by cars into arriving to Baghdad International Airport [officially under the American security protection] by airplane would never happen without pre-discussion with the Americans.

Iran can not guarantee the security of its president with the presence of the American forces, without receiving firm assurances from the American side, and Washington would not accepts Ahmadinejad’s visit without receiving “something” in return.

The same view is shared by Mohammad Akoush from Al-Arab Al-Youm:

This visit may be approved by President Bush, hoping to calm security situation, but it also shows that The U.S. – Iran are sharing Iraq at the costs of the Iraqi people and Arab countries.

You can also darkness in Nahidh Hatar’s article “Baghdad receives its first Iranian governor“:

This indicates the continuation of the conflict, not the end, the beginning of the Iranian occupation after the demise of the American occupation.

Al-Qabas agrees:

Ahmadinejad came to cultivates what the American started five years ago benefiting from the American mistakes.
