Sistani to participate in the provincial election
It seems Sistani wants to know what it’s like to be a politician, reported today on Al Hurriya news that Sistani’s representatives will participate in the provincial election in Basra, why in Basra and not in other provinces or Hawza’s strongholds Karbala and Najaf is not explained [oil? or preventing Al Sadr from dominating the votes].
What happened that Al Hakim changed his position from pushing for a security agreement treaty with the Americans back in ‘04:
[Al Hakim] pointed out about the continuing efforts to sign a security agreement between Iraq and the United States.
To, suddenly opposes the treaty and few points in the treaty, and why this “Iraq sovereignty” was not a big issue back then?
Few months ago Anajaf News reported the following:
At the meeting with United Iraq Alliance to discus the security agreement, Abdul Aziz Al-Hakim suggested to limit the U.S. forces operations and the places they enter to, Al-Hakim put this proposal after the arrest of Amar Al-Hakim [his son] by the [occupation] forces.
Al Hakim, Maliki [and the rest of the gang] can’t have it both ways, they want to limit the American forces movements and they want the Americans to protect them as explained on this article on Al Akhbar.
Rejecting the security agreement is part of the provincial election campaign to gain more votes, the Iraqi forces and the American forces are incapable to face the Iraqi resistance only by political maneuvers in the terms of freeze and truce only, any American forces withdrawal means Iraqi government exit also.
