patriotic party girl Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) 11.11.2011 | (Voice of Iraq) - Add Comment - American troops received the second largest air terminal in the world after London Heathrow Airport to Iraqis Baghdad: Mustafa Hamza until the end of the first Gulf War (1980-1988), which broke out between Iraq and Iran, Iraq boasted that he have a powerful fleet of fighter jets as well as one of the best air defense systems. During the long war between the two countries play a combat aviation an active role in the enabling Iraq at the time of the continued development of air defenses, whether missiles or systems, radar as well as to buy more advanced aircraft of the then Soviet Union and France, including the «Mirage» and aircraft «Super Watandar» bombed Kharg Island, Iran's Persian Gulf in the extreme. But after 1990 and during the invasion of Kuwait, the international coalition forces were able to paralyze the ability of warplanes and Iraqi air defense systems to zero degrees centigrade. As deposited the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, dozens of fighter planes to arch his hostility to Iran, and others are buried under the soil, the embargo imposed on Iraq for 13 years did not allow the system to re-think the former air dominance which was owned by Iraq on the region's skies. After 2003 and the impact of the occupation of Iraq and disband the army and all its institutions, the political class that came to power did not take into account the day that it faces a position such as that developed by the American side when he began to withdraw its ground forces and air from Iraq without being build an army capable of defending internally or externally. it is in practice left before the withdrawal of the last American soldiers from Iraq less than two months, and if the Iraqi authorities in charge of talking about the existence of technical capabilities and combat to protect the home front but could not one of the Iraqi politicians, including the protagonists of them talk about the ability of even limited of the Iraqi army to defend the honor of the home in case of a foreign aggression. theory from which the senior officials that Iraq no longer threatens any of the neighbors and so all the neighbors of Iraq, despite the charges against all of them of interfering in the Iraqi issue, they all are not aggressive to the degree that makes them could be invading Iraq's land. They are either friends of the United States of America, which makes them «respect» the friendship, such as Turkey or Kuwait or are the enemies of the United States, which makes them «fear» of military intervention for fear of turning into an open confrontation with the Americans, who are already close to the region Bosatilhm and bases. but irony that are now classified as friends of the United States are to some degree opponents of the ruling political class in Iraq today, and vice versa, it is deemed enemies of the United States understand the friends of the ruling political class in Iraq. In such a climate, confounding armies withdrew the U.S. from the base of the country, the last Iraqi air base the day before yesterday, which means the restoration of Iraqi sovereignty air. The irony is that the most important is that this sovereignty without supplies. At the time, who believed the President of the Security and Defense Committee in the Iraqi parliament Hassan Sinead, that «after the departure of the last U.S. aircraft Iraqi airspace, the day before yesterday, Iraq will be considered as any aircraft penetrate air space without permission hostile aircraft and will deal with it in accordance with national and international obligations». For his part, member of the Commission on Security and Defence in the Iraqi parliament Hamid al-Mutlaq told «Middle East» that «at a time when Iraqis feel the joy to leave the U.S. armies, whether ground or air, which makes them regain their sovereignty and are responsible for the consequence that the occupation is responsible for the survival of Iraq without a strong army, without weapons ». He said al-Mutlaq, that «the policy followed by the deliberate policy of the Americans appear as they were brilliant and devastating in Iraq made him an easy prey for each of his dog after his army was one of the strongest armies and the flight of the strongest aviation». Mutlaq took the current political class in Iraq «the responsibility of not building a strong army, where she focused on other things such as strengthening their positions in power and build an army depends on the militias and non-professional as well as the operations of financial corruption have prevented the real arm of the Iraqi army». And on how Iraq can meet the open space, Mutlaq said «We actually do not have now what we stand by something that calls for speed in the processing of military aircraft and air defense systems in order to complete our sovereignty already». A spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq had said the day before yesterday U.S. forces handed over an air base north of Baghdad, which was one of the most important headquarters in Iraq. The source told Agence France-Presse «we handed over the base of the country yesterday (Tuesday) to the Iraqi authorities». He pointed out that «in 2006, it was up to the base of the country of 27 thousand and 500 people between the departure and arrival was longer then the second largest station in the world after Heathrow London ». The air unit of the 332 a unit of U.S. Air Force, other departures from the country. The source said that «the country's best medical center was able to preserve the lives of 98 per cent of American soldiers and Iraqis who have been wounded» over the years. the Middle East Read more: http://www.sotaliraq...3#ixzz1dMAznbI8 Edited November 11, 2011 by Markinsa Inserted Paragraph Breaks 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
