Maliki’s three options to maneuver SOFA

The Green Zone news­pa­per reported about Maliki’s gov­ern­ment three options to maneu­ver SOFA, but news­pa­per Al-Watan reported that the Russ­ian and French diplo­mats in Bagh­dad joined the lob­by­ists [added to the British lob­by­ists].

The Amer­i­can threats still the hot topic of many Arab news­pa­pers reports. A very funny com­par­i­son on Al-Qabas describes the Amer­i­can warn­ing of the dete­ri­o­rat­ing secu­rity sit­u­a­tion if the U.S. with­draws the mil­i­tary forces as:

Like a religious-cleric answer­ing the ques­tion of “What is hell?” to chil­dren audi­ence for the first time, which makes their hearts jump in panic.

The writer says that the whole image reveals two facts:

1– The coali­tion between the United States and Iraqi author­ity brought to power by the U.S. is an alliance based on com­mon inter­ests and not on prin­ci­ples or morals.

2– What is going to hap­pen of dete­ri­o­rat­ing secu­rity sit­u­a­tion is an Amer­i­can cer­tifi­cate con­firm­ing that five years of occu­pa­tion have not led to the lib­er­a­tion of the coun­try and the con­sol­i­da­tion of democracy.
