Well, not so fast, Adam:

(from the FT):
===
Former foes Iraq and Iran announced � �a new chapter� � in their relations
on Thursday, including cross-border military co-operation, dismissing US
concerns about Iranian regional meddling.

On his first official visit to Tehran, Iraqi minister of defence Saadoun
al-Dulaimi asserted his country's sovereign right to seek help from
wherever it sees fit in rebuilding its defence capabilities.

� �Nobody can dictate to Iraq its relations with other countries,� � Mr
Dulaimi said in a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart,
Admiral Ali Shamkhani.

The two ministers said that a military co-operation agreement, now in the
preparation, would include Iranian help with training and upgrading Iraq's
reconstituted armed forces, a process so far overseen by US and coalition
advisers.
