The Wisdom Stream sets two conditions for participation in the acceptable government and otherwise will turn to the opposition

BAGHDAD, Aug 18 (Reuters) - The Al-Hakamah movement, led by Ammar al-Hakim, on Saturday set two conditions to participate in the government, and otherwise it will turn into opposition.

The leader of the current wisdom, Mohamed Elkash, that "the next federal prime minister, must meet the conditions set by the religious authority and this is the condition of the game, the second condition is the formation of the Iraqi national majority and if these conditions are not met, we will go to the opposition and will not participate In the next government "as he claimed. End Ah

[10 YEARS LATER]

No matter what the country, but especially in the case of Iraq; the participating Parties must get their agenda ( hidden or otherwise ) out there by jockeying, greasing palms, back room deals at midnight & y'all know the rest of that drill.

 

It's all painstakingly accomplished incrementally and it never moves fast enough ( the past 15 yrs. has shown us plenty ) for the Iraqi people that suffer mightily because of it. The disconnect between the Politician(s) & the People is astounding.

Why, why, why, is the USA allowing Iran to have one once of influence in Iraq.  If I was President I would tell Iraq to boot Iranian henchmen out of the country or else Iraq would have a new name, Texaco, the 51st state of The USA and our main gas station.  How in the hell do we spend trillions of US TAX dollars liberating Iraq from Saddam only to let Iran basically call the shots.  How do we go to the parents who lost sons in Iraq and tell them their sacrifice was in vain.  How do we explain to the thousands of wounded US soldiers your efforts and sacrifices were for naught.  How about the soldiers suffering from PTSD, (my son who is one)  What do we tell them.?  Get over it soldier?

Iraq Has Enough Money to Pay Iran War Reparations”

August 18, 2018 - 13:02

 

A high-ranking Iranian lawmaker says the Iranian government must urge Iraq to pay compensation for damages in the 1980-88 deadly war imposed by the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein on Iran.

 

Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, the chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said although Iran has not pressured Iraq to pay compensation to avoid provoking tensions in bilateral relations, Baghdad currently has the money and must eventually pay for the war damages.

“War compensation is an unignorable obligation of the Iraqi side,” he told ISNA in a talk on Saturday.

Iran’s request for compensation is based on the UN Security Council Resolution 598, which ended the eight-year war between Iran and Iraq and identified Iraq as the aggressor.

The call for Iraq’s compensation of damages caused by Saddam Hussein comes after Iraq’s prime minister said his country would abide by anti-Iran US sanctions.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on August 7 his country would abide by US sanctions against Iran to protect Iraq’s own interests, causing tensions in Tehran-Baghdad relations.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, in an attempt to repair the gap between Iran and Iraq, issued a statement on August 8 criticizing US sanctions on Iran and expressing Iraq’s gratefulness to Iran for supporting Iraq in fighting the ISIS.

A few days later, Abadi took back his words and said the country will continue doing business with Iran using currencies other than the US dollar.

He said Baghdad is not going to abide by any of US sanctions against Iran except for the ban on using US dollar.

 

Compensation Talks Should Begin 

Falahatpisheh said the country could have paid for the war damages much sooner, if shared economic infrastructures between the two countries had been restored.

“Some influential groups and external players work to prevent normalization of [economic] ties and restoration of economic and trade infrastructures shared between the two countries, so Iraq cannot pay the compensation,” he said.

However, Falahatpisheh said Iraq is currently earning huge income from its oil industry and it is capable of paying for the war damages compensation.

“We expect the UN resolution to go into effect and talks on compensations to be started,” he said.

I’ve read three articles today on Iranian wanting Iraq to pay reparations and that Iraq has the money to do it.  

 

I posted this this article under Yota’s articles on the new government formation as you can almost see what Iran is trying to do.  

 

If they control the government they control the money.

About time,  he cannot let Maliki drive the train here.  

[jcfrag]

I believe I read somewhere that Maliki owns a lot of the media outlets in Iraq. I call BS on all of this squabble. Sadr and his protesters are still a huge influence in Iraq. A lot of Iraqi's are protesting Iran's ability to try to stir the pot in Iraq by shutting off water and electricity to Iraq. A lot of politicians in Iraq are pro-Iranian. A lot of Iraqis in Iraq are still countrymen of Iraq. That is how Sadr won the most votes. Even he doesn't want Iran in Iraq's business affairs. Sadr understands the line between allegiance to your country and allegiance to your religion... and in Iraq you can have both, unlike Iran......  I still suspect Sadr is still popular amongst his countrymen regardless of what Maliki's news reports say....
