Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Thursday welcomed Iran's assistance in the fight against Islamic State jihadists, but warned Tehran to respect Baghdad's sovereignty.

"Everything must be done through the government of Iraq," Abadi told an audience of U.S. policy experts at a Washington think tank on the third day of a visit to the United States.

One thing is that I have utmost confidence in the overwhelming majority of Iraqis. They believe that Iraq, not Iran, is the centre of Shiism. It is why Iran arms militias that are directly loyal to them. Also most Iraqis know all too well the disgusting treatment that the Iranian regime exact on the mostly Shia Arab population of Iran. On top of political repression, they suffer economic marginalization, land confiscation, colonization and theft of their oil resources.

at least Iraq's shiite leaders are patriots full of national dignity and pride, unlike our turbaned divine sewer dwelling chimps.
