Israeli Troops in Iraq and Iran? Why not?
During my morning blog patrol, I came across this piece, which led me to the original source, which is at the bottom. Would the US encourage the Israelis to run down Iranian nuke works? Would Israel like the US to zap those sites? And, as the quote mentions, do we believe the “sovereign” government of Iraq digs this?
In a pig’s valise, as they used to say in old detective novels.

The de facto partition of Iraq occurred prior to the invasion, at least the separation of the Kurdish areas from the areas dominated by the Sunnis and Shias. And its utter separation from the rest of Iraq can be seen in this brief paragraph, if Sarah Baxter and Uzi Mahnaimi (in Israel) have told it like it is—
Israel’s special forces are said to be operating inside Iran in an urgent attempt to locate the country’s secret uranium enrichment sites. “We found several suspected sites last year but there must be more,” an Israeli intelligence source said. They are operating from a base in northern Iraq, guarded by Israeli soldiers with the approval of the Americans, according to Israeli sources.
Are we to believe that the "sovereign" government of Iraq is countenancing Israeli soldiers on its territory?
