In the context of the US war against ISIS “Daash” and in its attempts to save the political process in Iraq, and according to the available information obtained by the Rawabet center for Research and Strategic Studies , the representative of the American president in the international coalition, “Brett Macgork” has met in Baghdad all of President of the republic Fuad Masum, and Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, and the speaker of the parliament Dr. Salim al-Jubouri. This information also suggests that the meeting of “Brett Macgork” with Iraqi officials was made with each one apart.
This information indicates that “Brett Macgork” focused in his meeting with Iraqi officials on two issues of the utmost importance for the administration of US President Barack Obama, the first: the reforms, as he stressed the importance that Iraq is moving forward in the political, economic and social reforms, because these reforms are considered in terms of a real way to get out of the multiple crises of Iraq suffered from it since 2003. on the other hand strengthen the international coalition front in the fight against state regulation “Daash.” Second: corruption, “Brett Macgork” informed Iraqi officials of the discomfort and resentment of the US administration over the rampant corruption in all aspects of the Iraqi political system.
As reported, “Brett Macgork” in his meeting with the President of the Republic of Iraq Fuad Masum and Prime Minister Haidar al-Abbadi and Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jubouri, that the Vice President “Joe Biden” will meet on the tenth of this month in the UAE, the staff of the US administration involved in the Iraqi issue, and Vice President will focus at this meeting on the Russian military intervention in Syria, and the influence of the popular crowd at the Iraqi scene, and will also be at the meeting to tackle the preparations for the United States to the battle of Mosul, and will be allocated in this meeting conditional financial assistance to Iraq , estimated by ten billion US dollars , as this assistance will be spent in case to proceed effectively in the application of political, security, economic and social reforms in Iraq.
It is well known when any official in the US administration meets with any Iraqi official, what is shown by the American administrator of resentment and annoyance in the meeting of Iraqi policies , whether those policies were internal or external, is not due to personal estimates, as much as an expression of his country attitude over those policies . this discomfort which was transferred by “Brett Macgork” to Iraqi officials on the state of corruption prevailing in Iraq and dissatisfaction of the US administration about it , it can be realized by not visiting of US Vice President “Joe Biden” for Iraq, this vice president began a tour last Saturday in a number of Middle Eastern countries as he will meet with King Abdullah II in Amman, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah, and that he would visit the United Arab Emirates.
It should be noted here that this visit is the third one of its kind for US Vice President “Joe Biden” to the middle East that he has not visited Iraq, despite his country’s leadership of the international coalition against state regulation in Iraq and the Levant “Daash”, and the presence of US troops on Iraqi soil. This ignorance to the lack of a visit by US Vice-president “Joe Biden” is nothing but a clear indication of the discomfort of the United States of the political process in Iraq sponsored by it since 2003, but it was deviated too much about US policy path, noting that Iraq has become fully subject to the Iranian influence and managed in one way or another by its allies of the militias that committed crimes against humanity under the pretext of the fight against state regulation “Daash” in some Sunni areas such as Tikrit of Salahuddin province, and Muqdadiyah in Diyala province.
We conclude by saying that the message that Brett Macgork wanted to convey to them in his meeting with the President of the Republic of Iraq Fuad Masum and Prime Minister Haidar al-Abbadi and the speaker of the parliament Dr. Salim al-Jubouri that the real challenge facing Iraq is not only lies in the elimination of state regulation in Iraq and the Levant ” Daash “, but the real challenge begins in Iraq of a stage after the state regulation” Daash ,”Iraq that is achieved on its ground a kind of broader security and political and economic stability.
To be sure, the elimination of ISIS in Iraq , “Daash” in the Sunni western Iraq areas is a vital necessity, but just a defeat will not make a difference, if it is not part of a broader effort to reach a stable political and economic relationship between the sectarian and ethnic components in Iraq. ” Sunnis and Shiites, Arabs and Kurds, “and provide security for all of them, finding the structure of governance that all Iraqis feel it serves their fundamental interests, and put Iraq on the road to the broader economic recovery, then walk in the direction of comprehensive development.
