Nate08 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Here is a quick clip from the big Wikileaks news out today. Looks like in summary that the U.S. Government has made removal of Chapter 7 one of its cornerstone objectives. I read through quite a bit of the Iraq related topics and this is all that I found that directly related to the RV. Have a great week. (S) COMMENT CONT'D: Our objective in Iraq should be less about countering all-things Iranian, and more about developing viable alternatives and approaches that gradually alter the GOI's political, economic, and social worldview. Development of viable international alternatives in Iraq is one of the most effective measures of countering Iranian ambitions and, ultimately, integrating Iraq as a constructive member of the international community. Specifically, our ongoing efforts to bolster the GOI through capacity-building and assistance within the Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA) and to remove Iraq from Chapter VII remain our most valuable tools in this regard. Given the value placed on the SFA by the GOI and the Iraqi public, our ability to recognize, enhance, and exploit the value of the partnership will constitute an essential element of any effort to counter "malign" Iranian influence.
