Sadrists criticize Biden's upcoming visit to Iraq

28/12/2011 13:50

BAGHDAD, Dec. 28 (AKnews) - The Sadrist movement led by notorious Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr criticized U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden's coming visit to Iraq on Wednesday, calling on the political blocs to work in a way that shows Iraqi sovereignty and independence from external interference.

Iraqi political sources revealed they expect Biden to visit Iraq in light of the political disputes between Iraqiya and the State of Law Coalition.

Biden has spoke by telephone with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and Speaker of the Council of Representatives Osama al-Nujaifi to hold more negotiations to avoid crises in the country.

Sadrist Jawad al-Jabbouri told AKnews Biden's visit is unwelcome in Iraq since he represents a state that "occupied and violated the sanctity of Iraq."

"The visit of the U.S. Vice President was arranged by the two Iraqi and American foreign ministries and Biden didn't resort to legal procedures to get his visa to enter Iraq."

The United States ended the U.S. military presence in Iraq on Dec. 17 ahead of schedule, according to the security agreement signed in Dec. 2008.

The political tension escalated in Iraq against after an arrest warrant was issued for Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi and the deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq was sacked after describing Maliki as a dictator.

When Biden 1st heard of this he was appalled. Then upon further review he asked an aide what state are the Sadrist from? After hours of laughter.......................again(nothing new), the aide informed Ol Joe. Biden then asked are they part of the liberal base I should be pandering too? More laughter from aides who know he is serious. Ol Joe you gotta love him
