Allawi opposes SOFA Agreement

Thursday, June 24, 2010 13:30 GMT

Head of Al Iraqiya List Iyad Allawi held the United Nations and the US responsible for reform prior to US Forces withdrawal from the country.

Washington should protect the democratic process for which Iraqis have sacrificed, Allawi said in a statement.

Allawi pointed out that he opposes the SOFA agreement for it is not clear over the readiness of armed forces and the implementation of the political reform pact approved by the former Parliament according to which Iraq would exit UN Charter Chapter VII.

He urged to save the political process from sectarianism and apportionment.

I completely agree with Allawi! Enough time has passed to show the UN and US neutrality... this is effecting the citizens of Iraq and whereby will reflect blame on the US in the end. Crushing the seed of future relations. We are damned if we do or damned if we don't regardless. So we might as well be damned if we do and get paid for it ya know?

Bush had his faults but he certainly wasn't afraid of making a decision or hurting feelings at the UN. Time for Ban ki Moon to get off his butt and lead! Barack... that goes for you too big guy! I don't bash presidents... just encouraging a decision to be made!!!
