Iraqi president talks in Iran
Tehran (Reuters) - The Iraqi President Jalal Talabani to Iran on Monday for talks amid growing calls for Washington to engage Tehran in a dialogue aimed at avoiding Iraq sliding towards civil war.
The visit was postponed for two days because of Talabani of a curfew imposed on Baghdad in the aftermath of the attacks occurred on Thursday, killing about 200 Shiite. The curfew was lifted today, Monday,.
Political analysts said that Iran may try to exploit the talks with the Taliban to review their influence to Washington, and to strengthen its position before any dialogue with the old enemy.
They believe that the Taliban, who speaks fluent Farsi may try to exert pressure on Iran to desist from Iraq as a battlefield in isolating the ongoing since three decades with the United States.
Meanwhile, the Iranian news agency Fars that Talabani arrived to hold talks with Iranian officials and will sign bilateral agreements also.
The Iranian official earlier told Reuters that the Taliban will enter directly in the talks with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after his arrival and will leave on Tuesday after talks with the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameni, the highest authority in Iran.
Talabani responded Asked last week what will comprise talks in Tehran, saying the Iranian official television network of "strengthening relations and the security of Iraq."
The time that the ministers of oil and industry, technology, and perhaps Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari will accompany him on his trip.
The visit is the latest in a series of communications. He visited Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki Tehran in September and got a pledge from Tehran to support his government.
He said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday that Iran is ready to help the United States in Iraq, but only if it undertook to withdraw its troops.
And Iran called Syrian President Bashar Assad to join the talks but Syria has not responded to the offer.
And Iraq and Syria agreed last week to restore full diplomatic relations in Syria accepted the agreement in which the very survival of the American forces in Iraq as long as the government need.
It accused Syria of allowing foreign fighters to cross its borders into Iraq. Iran accuse Shiite militias supporting and exporting weapons. The countries deny the accusations.
The Iranian political analyst said that the meeting with Talabani Ahmadinejad aims in part to "show that Iran enjoys influence and power to take the initiative before the start of talks (with the United States)."
Analysts see that Iran has friends with influence in Iraq, but their influence has its limits. He said Iranian political analyst, whatever God sun preachers, "I think that there is some exaggeration on the capabilities of Damascus and Tehran."
The New York Times on Monday that the number of draft report prepared for the committee studying options in Iraq urged to hold direct talks with Syria and Iran but did not set a timetable for the withdrawal of American forces from there.

If I remember well I read somewhere that the period between the last meeting of the ICI on the 30/31 october last and the last meeting in mid-december Iraq had to strengthen the relations with other countries.
If this is the last one of the whole serie which we have seen then it's now time to take action.
We must see huge improvements from now on and I hope they realize that they can better do it sooner than later with all the violence.

Wow...
Ya know what's funny...with everything that is going on, and the fog of the "roller coaster ride" we've all been going through, I just had an epiphany with CP's post.
We have been in the middle of a reval all of this time!!!!!! It's been happening right before our eyes. The deliberate withdraw of the dinar is the actual beginning of the reval. Yes, yes some of you might think I am a bit slow. But with this post it is clear that we are coming at the end of the track. I've always believed in the Dinar, never really doubted it, but is it me or is everyone starting to get butterflies in their stomach, because we are all about to be...independently wealthy!!!!
