The US-Iranian negotiation on Iraq will start on Monday in Baghdad. America has nothing to offer Iran. Iran has nothing to compromise on: it wants to include Iraq in the Iran-dominated Shiite axis, and has almost succeeded by now. America announced its plans for withdrawal on several occasions and cannot pressure Iran.
Two days before starting negotiations with Iran, America has publicly launched a CIA war against Iran.

Congress report shows that Iraq failed to meet any benchmarks. According to his earlier promise, Bush must start pulling the US troops out of Iraq, and leave Israel to deal with the terrorist state of Iraq.

Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development is on trial in the US for sending humanitarian aid to Hamas. That’s exactly what Israeli government does on a daily basis.

Bush Administration proposed $3 billion to Israel annually, $1.3 billion to Egypt dominated by Muslim Brotherhood. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and UAE will purchase $5 billion worth of the best US weapons.
Arming both Israel and its archrival Egypt seems somewhat counterproductive.

$20 billion arms sales to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and petty sheikhdoms would include truly useless items: hyper-expensive naval vessels, GPS-guided bombs which proved a failure in Iraq due to their small payload, and upgrades to the aircraft the Arabs have no skills to fly, anyway.
