Biden, Obama’s heavy stick on Iraq

In his answer to Biden’s crit­i­cism, Maliki missed the major threat made by the Amer­i­can Vise Pres­i­dent. Accord­ing to Iraqi writer Yaseen Al-Badranisaying that one of the main char­ac­ter­is­tics of the cur­rent U.S. Admin­is­tra­tion is the con­ti­nu­ity of the for­eign policy.

Dif­fi­cult to com­pre­hend by Maliki and his big team of advis­ers, the writer said that the hid­den fact behind Biden’s threat is that Maliki’s days are numbered:

Biden’s state­ment indi­cates that the new Amer­i­can admin­is­tra­tion decided to put things in their right places and to clar­ify one fact that the United States is stay­ing in Iraq even after the troop’s withdrawal.

The writer also noticed that the cur­rent U.S. admin­is­tra­tion is “flirt­ing” with Allawi [see Allawi yesterday’s three let­ters to Obama, Biden and Clin­ton].

Fed­er­al­ism wasn’t and Iranian-origin project, and there no suf­fi­cient evi­dence avail­able of direct Iran­ian involve­ment, for­mu­la­tion or pro­mot­ing this project.

The writer denies any achieve­ment in the Provin­cial Coun­cil, except that it is one step to advance the soft Amer­i­can “fed­er­al­ism” project away from the Iran­ian intervention.
