I don't have issues.  The US Military NEVER left Kuwait.  They couldn't because of Saddam. 

 

The US has forces there today and will never leave.  Iraq can have sovereignty and the US Military will still be there to protect the oil fields.   

 

Of course we want a reinstatement and there will be, eventually.  That's why we are all here.     

Im speaking in general terms, not every single militant. It was shortly after we pulled out, they reinstated

A Kurdish MP expects a "major battle" in next week's session

 

 

03/09/2021 12:10:11

 

 

A member of the Finance Committee, Kurdish Representative Jamal Cougar, revealed a new condition for passing the draft federal budget bill for 2021. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Muhammad al-Halbousi, had directed the inclusion of the budget bill in the next session next Monday, March 15, 2021.

Cougar said in a press statement, “There are problems related to three articles in the draft Federal Supreme Court bill that require approval for each of them to a two-thirds vote. Members of the Council, and that the bill has not passed for twelve years because of those three articles, and the major battle over it in the House of Representatives has been postponed to next Monday." 
 

He added, "Some Shiite and Sunni parties linked the issue of the general budget to the approval of the Federal Supreme Court bill, and a pressure paper was taken from that. Yesterday, the Speaker of Parliament said that they will include the issue in the agenda of Monday’s session while 150 deputies collected signatures to demand not to delay The General Budget Bill.

Cougar believed that "in the event that the Federal Supreme Court bill is passed, the general budget bill will be passed, but in the event that the Federal Court bill is not passed, there will be tensions and the passage of the General Budget Bill will again be delayed." 
 

According to Cougar, "It is possible to pass the aforementioned bill even without the agreement of the Iraqi parties, because there are previous experiences of this kind, and two laws and a decision have already been passed in the absence of Kurdish representatives."

It is noteworthy that four paragraphs of the Federal Supreme Court bill were settled yesterday. As for the articles that were postponed to next Monday’s session, they are Articles 2, 3 and 12, while two months have passed from the current year 2021 and the draft general budget law has not yet been approved. Federal for the year 2021. The Federal Court’s law stipulates that court sessions be held in the presence of its president and all of its members. The draft law presented to the House of Representatives proposes to add four Sharia scholars and two judges to the court, bringing the number of its members to 15.

For the purpose of holding its sessions and issuing its decisions, the Federal Supreme Court needs the votes of all the members of the court, but due to the illness of one member and the death of another, the court is no longer able to hold its sessions. The Federal Supreme Court was formed in 2005, and has been operating under a special law for ten years. It is the highest court in Iraq, and it has the authority to interpret the constitution, annul the decisions of the House of Representatives, and its decisions are irrevocable and unappealable.

Change: The Pope Issued Early Warnings Of Steps That Might Be Taken Against The Ruling Class In Iraq

 

 

9th March, 2021

Head of the Change Bloc in the House of Representatives, Dr. Yusuf Muhammad, said that the speeches of Pope Francis that he gave during his visit to Iraq were an extension of "early warnings" for steps that may be taken later towards the ruling political class in Iraq.

Muhammad added in a statement, which the Independent received a copy of, that the visit of Pope Francis to Iraq was successful at all religious, official, media and popular levels, indicating that it is necessary for there to be international cooperation after that visit in many matters concerning the country. 
 

He explained that: The first steps of cooperation are to dry up the sources of terrorism and weaken the extremist ideology and violence that appears in Iraq from time to time, after it has been proven that the crises that occur in it affect international security and peace before the regional one.

The first priority in this field is to fight corruption and restore social justice, as His Holiness indicated to fight this phenomenon among Iraqi politicians, and to return the smuggled and looted money to be used in the advancement of the country's infrastructure and to supply the economy that has deteriorated in recent years with non-oil resources through the optimal use of these funds.

Muhammad affirmed that a personal visit that represents the spiritual leadership of the Catholic Church in the world, such as His Holiness Pope Francis, is very important and historic for Iraq, and attracted the world's attention towards him again, in addition to the activities that accompanied the visit, such as his meeting with the supreme authority in Najaf, Mr. Ali al-Sistani and his presidency of the interfaith dialogue that took place in the city Archaeological Ur and the holding of mass in a number of churches in Baghdad, Nineveh and Arbil, warning that shedding light in this image on the visit must be invested by Iraq with steps that help advance the political, economic and security reality.

He warned against sending popular, official and international warnings to the political class in the country through the demonstrations that came out that condemned the narrow authoritarian policies that followed the sit-ins, or the statements issued by friendly countries and international organizations related to corruption and the suppression of freedoms inside the country, usually the speeches made by the Pope of the Vatican in Iraq is an extension of "international early warnings" to the ruling class in Iraq, with subsequent steps that may surprise some, and make the international discourse directed at politicians more powerful and focused on these issues.
