Allawi gives us more disputed-points, noted that there are differences between the English and the Arabic versions with many translation mistakes, and he had this to say:
One of the points in the pact is to fight Al-Qaeda. This is a clear objective, but other points such as fighting the outlaws — Who are they? What does this word means?
Another point, fight against the remnants of the former regime, How to define the remnants of the former regime?
I guess that Malikis government right now in a high alert, as reported on iraqshabab saying that until this hour [late at night] there is meeting with political blocs in Talabanis private house adding:
Political blocs that oppose the security agreement is widening its influence in the meeting and pressing towards total rejection of the SOFA despite the pressure from the U.S. ambassador Ryan Crocker and the employees of the American embassy.
Talabani’s attempt to break this rejection by involving marginalized political blocs are failed, the common discussion direction is to postpone SOFA negotiations after the U.S. presidential election.
Iraqi MP Al-Janabi confirmed the U.S. pressure calling it “threats” saying:
The America-side noted that the non-adoption of the security pact will embarrass the U.S. administration, and this push the UN to extend the Multinational forces presence in Iraq.
The MP considers this as semi-warning that Iraq will be offered to its enemies on a on a gold plate.
He added:
The Americans always ask about who will fill the security vacuum in Iraq? Without the U.S. or the Iranian forces Saying:
This is an implicit threat to involve forces from neighboring countries to replace the U.S. presence in Iraq.
