Iraqi President Claims No ‘Serious’ Opposition to US Troops Staying

Every major parliament bloc has demanded a pullout

Jason Ditz Posted onMarch 29, 2019CategoriesNews

 

In comments that are likely exactly what the US wants to hear, Iraqi President Barham Salih claimed that he sees no “serious” opposition to US troops staying in Iraq, and believes there is a general consensus that the US can stay “as long as it is necessary.” 

This would be good news for the Pentagon, where officials want to stay in Iraq effectively forever. Is it true though? Not from the comments coming out of materially every other major Iraqi official.

MPs from every major Shi’ite political bloc in parliament have demanded a timeline for the US troop withdrawal, and with the US pushing for action against Shi’ite militias, they’ve got grudges with most of the key factions now. 

It is unclear how Salih can seriously claim there is no opposition to US troops in Iraq, even if he believed that ultimately they’d let the US stay. Dismissing parliament’s substantial qualms about the US impact on sovereignty is only going to add to determination to force a public timetable and more transparency on the matter.

Baghdad:

The Sadikoun parliamentary bloc of Asaib Ahl al-Haq opened fire Tuesday on the commander-in-chief of the armed forces over the US presence in Iraq, calling it the "liar" who announces shady information that is not true on the ground.

"US President Donald Trump has openly declared the existence of US military bases in Iraq, especially those near the Syrian-Iraqi border," said Uday Awad, a leader of the bloc.

He added that "the survival of US forces in Iraq means more divisions and threats of security and instability in various regions of the country," noting that "the Prime Minister has been the public opinion, a liar after he announced to the Iraqi people that there is no military bases for Americans in the country."

Awwad said: "The security agreement with Washington must be in accordance with certain rules and guidelines committed by the US side in its military movements within the provinces of the country."

Expert: The decision to exit the Americans with the Prime Minister exclusively

 

 

Baghdad

Strategic expert Safa al-Aasem said on Thursday that Iraq still needs a US presence in terms of consultation and training, as well as arming and rehabilitation after it consumed the war with many military equipment.

"The decision to bring US troops to the country was ordered by the government and the parliament is not entitled to remove US forces from the country by a unilateral decision," al-Asam told the news agency.

"Even the parliament inside the blocs supports the survival of the US in the country, so the parliament itself will have difficulty in reaching a decision in this regard," adding that "even if the House of Representatives agreed, reference to the Prime Minister and they can deal with him and know the final decision."

"The US side is working against the Iraqi claims," he said. "They now have about 14 bases in Iraq, and there is a large US base in Kirkuk."

"Iraq does not need US military and ground forces, but it needs consultation and training, as well as arming and properly rehabilitating the army after the war against Saddam," he said.

Source: "Fatah" is waiting for the position of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, to resolve the US presence in Iraq
Thu, 04 Apr 2019 09:22:45

A source from within the alliance "Fatah", on Thursday, that "the conquest" is waiting for the position of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Moqtada al-Sadr, to resolve the US presence in Iraq, indicating that the joint committees with the alliance, "Saron" ended the formulation of more than 80 percent of the texts of the draft calling To end the security agreement "Sofa" on the organization of the American withdrawal process .

"The reason for the delay in submitting the draft to parliament is the official visits that took place in the capital Baghdad recently, as well as the preoccupation of the three presidencies with external links," the newspaper "Al Akhbar", close to Tehran, quoted the source as saying in a press statement today, April 4, 2019, Noting that "the alliance of the conquest is waiting for a final answer from others to move forward in the project within the corridors of Parliament."

The source denied that there would be "external pressure" on the two blocs to pass any similar law, stressing that "the law will be consistent with the government vision," as he put it.

In a related context, another source within the "conquest" that "the delay in the introduction of the law back to the time requested by the government to reconsider the practical needs of several of these forces first, in addition to the limits of amendments that may be put on the memorandum of strategic cooperation."

He explained that "the law is in the possession of the parliamentary security and defense committee, and needs some amendments before it is included in the items of any parliamentary session," expected to be put in the coming weeks.

For its part, sources in the Sadrist movement, pointed out that "the current and the Sadr will not back down from their word in the passing of the law, accusing Halbusi subject to foreign pressure, and the authorization of the order was not expected," where the sources adopted a statement by MP Sabah Saadi, who confirmed that "the three presidencies Can not replace the Council of Representatives, and the abolition of its legislative and supervisory powers ... Halabousi here can not replace the blocks, "noting that" the movement calling for the issuance of the law, respects the government's vision of the practical need for the presence of similar forces. "

The newspaper concluded that, nevertheless, a well-informed source confirms that there is no serious movement to issue a similar law and what is being carried out by the media for local and regional political accounts. It also pointed out that even if these forces ratified and submitted an integrated law proposal to the parliament, And in the event of the issuance of the law in high-ceiling form, several question marks are raised on the possibility of implementation, especially since the government of Abdul Mahdi does not show willingness to abandon the policy of holding the stick from the middle.

Several parliamentary blocs, headed by "Sadr" supported by the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr and "Fatah" headed by the Secretary-General of the Badr Organization, Hadi al-Amiri, has been resolved in its statements that the second legislative session will discuss the draft law on the removal of foreign troops from Iraq, And then passed by law by Parliament.

"The US presence is a guarantee for Iraq, and the demand for the withdrawal of coalition forces at this stage is in the interest of terrorism," said Speaker of Parliament Mohammed Halboussi during a visit to Washington last week.

Report: No political agreement between the blocks on the removal of US forces from Iraq

 

05-05-2019 10:27 PM 
N

Agency of the orbit -

Baghdad is 
dominated by the political and social circles in Iraq a sharp split in the position of the Iranian calls to remove US forces, and to a lesser extent the position of projects put forward by the deputies 'Shiites' in the Iraqi Council of Representatives to urge the Iraqi government to ask the United States to withdraw its troops from Iraq. 
Independent Iraqi politicians or opponents of the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi view Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's recent calls for the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq as interference with Iraq's internal affairs that should not be tolerated.
After the collapse of the security forces and the control of the organization calling on the city of Mosul in June 2014, US forces returned to Iraq for the war on terrorism, without the signing of the agreement of the countries to determine the deployment of these forces, so the US presence in Iraq came at the request of the Iraqi government, Only that has the decision to ask the Americans to withdraw their troops from Iraq, which may not be achieved without pressure exerted by political blocs in the Iraqi parliament to obtain a resolution asking the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi to address the US administration for this purpose. 
And believes that Iraqi parties close to Iran, or an ally, the absence of the need for the US presence in Iraq after the completion of fighting the organization and advocates, and such a presence would be devoted to Iran, contrary to the reasons for the request of the Iraqi government after the events of Mosul 2014 military assistance from the United States to fight the organization .
The factions describe the US popular forces as an 'occupation force' that must withdraw from Iraq immediately after the end of its mission in the war on the organization of a preacher; and these factions believe that Iraq will not stabilize the security of the presence of US troops entered Iraq without the approval of the Iraqi Council of Representatives at the time Popular factions have enough weapons to fight the organization and face its 'supposed' threats. 
And away from the economic relations between Iraq and Iran, and the need of the Iraqi market to goods and goods, Iran and the supply of electric power and gas needed to operate power plants and other needs, which Iraq finds it very difficult to find alternatives; most of the political blocs active in the Iraqi House of Representatives tend to support policies Iranian policy and against US policies in Iraq.
With the start of the House of Representatives in mid-October last year 2018, dozens of members agreed to submit a draft resolution to withdraw US troops completely from Iraq according to a predetermined timetable. 
The Council, at its previous session (August 2014, May 2018), voted on March 1, 2018 on a draft resolution asking the government to set a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq; often such decisions are made by parliamentary blocs allied to Iran. 
Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders and other officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, have on several occasions repeatedly refused to allow the United States to remain in Iraq after the end of the war on a sympathetic organization, and not to allow the Iraqi government to undermine the structure of the popular crowd, dismantle its factions or disarm them.
Iran is trying to invest any meeting with Iraqi officials to urge them to take urgent measures to remove US forces from Iraq. 
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said in a meeting on Saturday, April 6, that Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi pointed to the need to ensure that the Americans will withdraw their forces from Iraq as soon as possible, because their expulsion will be difficult when their military presence continues long in Iraq, country. 
Ali Khamenei believes that the Americans do not want the government, the parliament and the political group that governs Iraq now, so they plan to get them out of politics. 
On the official level, Khamenei's calls do not accept acceptance. Iraqi officials, such as President Barham Salih, insist that there is no opposition to the US military presence in Iraq based on the general consensus that Iraq needs continued cooperation with US forces.
The Iraqi government is trying to reassure the Iranian side that Iraq will not allow under the Constitution to be a ground for aggression against any country, and that Iraq 'will stand with Iran against any threats against it from the territory of any other country', according to statements made by Adel Abdul Mahdi during a meeting with the President Iran's Hassan Rowhani in Tehran, Saturday (April 6th). 
There is a consensus among Iraqi officials to 'enhance opportunities for cooperation with all neighboring countries and not to enter a axis at the expense of any country and reject the policy of axes' in letters addressed by those officials to neighboring Arab countries allied to the United States in the task of countering Iranian influence in Iraq and the region. 
With renewed calls by members of the Iraqi Council of Representatives for the withdrawal of US forces, the United States insists on not leaving Iraq at least at the current stage.

In contrast, the factions of the popular crowd allied to Iran threatened to target US forces stationed in Iraq. 
Iran can direct its allied forces in Iraq to target US interests if the United States pursues a more aggressive policy of tightening sanctions and causing serious damage to the structure of Iran's economy and causing internal unrest that forces the Revolutionary Guards to move the battlefield into Iraq The Iranian leadership in the face of an enemy trying to delegitimize the Iranian economy and state. 
The leaders of the popular mobilization have enough military capabilities and political influence in the House of Representatives and decision-making centers in the central government to adopt the draft to force US troops to withdraw from Iraq, especially after the end of the war on a supportive organization, a position strongly supported by Iran.
After the growing US 'hostility' to Iran and the Revolutionary Guards in particular after being included on the list of terrorism, the next phase will see more moves to approve the withdrawal of foreign troops, specifically American, from Iraq; and the United States deployed 5,200 troops in Iraq. 
The leader of the popular crowd Hadi al-Ameri threatened to drop any Iraqi government formed by US intervention during a period of two months in a meeting with the US special envoy on August 28, 2018. 
It seems that the US role in Iraq began to decline gradually after the end of the fighting, Massive US spending and direct air support for ground forces in the battles in which the popular crowd was the most important part.
To restore the US role and reduce Iranian influence in Iraq and the region, the United States will have to strengthen its military presence with more troops and advisers to complete the training of Iraqi army units in accordance with a combat doctrine similar to the anti-terrorist forces, the only force at this time that can counter paramilitary forces Pose a serious threat to the Iraqi state, and the potential targeting of US interests in Iraq and its soldiers in Iraq and Syria, or the threat of other US allies such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait from the territory of Iraq as tensions between the states United and Iran.
