Iraq signs pact with Axis Of Evil charter member

It's not too surprising but this story has not been carried by the US corporate media.
Iraq signs military pact with Iran

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq signed a military pact with Iran on Wednesday in a breakthrough with a former foe, but al Qaeda said it would kill Egypt's kidnapped envoy and attack more diplomats to stop the government winning international support.

Defence Minister Saadoun al-Dulaimi signed a pact in Tehran agreeing to accept Iranian military training and other cooperation with the country Iraq fought for a decade under ousted leader Saddam Hussein.

Responding to the suggestion that the thaw in ties with Iran would anger Washington, Dulaimi said: "Nobody can dictate to Iraq its relations with other countries."

A Goggle News search came up with no US coverage, the above is from the UK and Yahoo Australia NZ carried it.

OK, am I the only one that's confused here? Bush is getting ready to go to war with Iran and our marionettes in Baghdad are signing treaties with them for training. Did the Pentagon's favorite Iranian spy, Chalabi have something to do with it. Why no coverage in the US? Sorry, ignore that last question.
