Iraqi parliament, the new Iran — U.S. conflict arena

I can imag­ine that Ali Larijani’s visit to Iraq is to pres­sure the “State of Law” to join the INA, but I don’t think that this is the rea­son behind the cir­cu­lat­ing news of Maliki’s deci­sion (already reported here two weeks ago).

Side note:

Maliki — INA join a coali­tion and win the par­lia­ment major­ity is a pri­or­ity right now to face Allawi’s coali­tion, as reported on Al-Malafpress.

NewS­abah reported about the new Iran — U.S. con­flict arena which is the Iraqi par­lia­ment, and the U.S. ambas­sador Hill dis­ap­point­ment with the leaked infor­ma­tion of deal between INA and the “State of Law”. Accord­ing to the news­pa­per Hill sent a warn­ing to Maliki to not to lis­ten to Iran’s allies.

Larijani’s visit to the Iraqi par­lia­ment send a mes­sage to the U.S. admin­is­tra­tion that the Iraqi par­lia­ment is con­trolled by Tehran. So, when Iraqi law­mak­ers agree to vote in order to pass the elec­tion law, that will hap­pens accord­ing to the Iran­ian desire, fol­lows Larijani’s visit, espe­cially after Wash­ing­ton, Odierno, the Amer­i­can ambas­sador Hill (who attended the Iraqi par­lia­ment also), Obama and Biden failed to con­vince the par­lia­ment to accept the elec­tion law.

After the U.S. ambas­sador visit to the Par­lia­ment, there was an “emer­gency gov­ern­ment” sug­ges­tion made by the Iraqi Pres­i­den­tial Coun­cil which is prob­a­bly will be adopted by the U.S. as “plan B” to limit the Iran’s influ­ence and its allies in Iraq. This means: There is no elec­tion on 15 January.

After Larijani’s visit, the Kurds (who under­stood the U.S. game) said the fol­low­ing Al-Hayat 7-10-2009:

News cir­cu­late here and there about the agree­ment on the elec­tion law are not real.

A very clever mes­sage from the Kurds to the Amer­i­can admin­is­tra­tion means that the Kurds are not inter­ested in Larijani’s deals in Iraq and the Kurds will do what the Amer­i­cans want.

Kirkuk issue is an agree­ment between Kurds and the Amer­i­can side, in order to waste the remain­ing time of the par­lia­ment and post­pone the elec­tions to freeze Maliki’s gov­ern­ment later.

Faraj Al-Haidari, head of the Inde­pen­dent High Elec­toral Com­mis­sion final­ized this plan by say­ing:

Even if the Par­lia­ment agree on the elec­tion law Sat­ur­day [7-10-2009], the com­mis­sion is unable ran the elec­tion at time.

Sim­ple cal­cu­la­tion shows that this is the Amer­i­can plan in Afghanistan imple­mented in Iraq.
