Comical joker of the week

Ali al-Dabbagh (below) is Nouri al-Maliki's spokesperson.  Last week, Baghdad hosted a meet-up of Iran, Germany, Russia, France, the UK and the US.  Nothing was accomplished.  Ali Arouzi (NECN News -- link is text and video) reports, "International nuclear talks being held in Baghdad this week with Iran ended inconclusively with both sides at a stalemate."

Yet as the talks ended, there was al-Dabbagh pronouncing them a success and insisting Iraq was now ready to host talks between Syria and other countries.
