Urged the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Congress on Tuesday not to cut diplomatic presence after the war in Iraq in the wake of the report of the Committee of the Senate and urged Washington to consider the reduction of the large civilian presence there for security reasons.

And Ambassador James Jeffrey defended plans to keep 17 thousand U.S. diplomat and a contractor in Iraq in 15 different locations once the complete withdrawal of U.S. forces this year.

Jeffrey said of the Senate Foreign Relations that there is a need for a transitional senior U.S. for a period ranging between three to five years for the political, economic and security such as helping Iraq to bring a professionalism to the police and get the job done against al Qaeda.

He said "Do not get the job done now creates a risk of what was described by some as the moment of" Charlie Wilson's War "in Iraq with all of the re-emergence of Al Qaeda and the devolution of the regional players of troublemakers" such as Iran.

He was referring to the book and a film that highlighted the declining support of the United States in Afghanistan after the Soviet occupation left the country in 1989 after ten years of fighting rebels backed by the United States.

Jeffrey, speaking after presenting staff employed by the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives Committee report says that left many U.S. diplomats in Iraq without U.S. forces, which is expected to leave the country by December may involve a significant risk.

The report said that the United States could be looking to negotiate a new agreement with Iraq to allow a limited and temporary basis for U.S. troops after December.
