The cur­rent cri­sis will ease and end soon, politi­cians will accept the U.S. wishes (if you don’t like the word “orders”), from the pres­i­dent and the Pres­i­dency Coun­cil, to Maliki’s office all will use their author­i­ties to sus­pend the “J and A” deci­sion, and to employ this cri­sis to score few elec­tion points.

Maliki who has lost much of his influ­ence, polit­i­cal alliances and despite his sup­port for the de-Baathification deci­sion at the begin­ning, he felt that the author­ity is now being man­aged by Cha­l­abi and his deputy, Ali Al-Lami.

Maliki decided to pull the rug from under the feet of his oppo­nents and he want to appear as “last minute sav­ior”, add to this to take a revenge from his neme­sis Ahmed Al-Chalabi, who already started his anti-Maliki’s elec­tion cam­paign in South Iraq.

Maliki has issued an order signed by the Secretary-General of the Coun­cil of Min­is­ters Ali Al-Alak (image above), which do not rec­og­nize the Jus­tice and Account­abil­ity deci­sion on the basis that the Com­mit­tee was not approved by the parliament.

A golden chance to Talabani’s “dying” influ­ence and polit­i­cal party. He wants to emerge as the influ­en­tial pres­i­dent how will solve the issue at the last moment. A gov­ern­ment source revealed that the Pres­i­dent Office will sub­mit an ini­tia­tive to resolve the de-Baathification deci­sion crisis,

Al-Hashimi wants to turn the table on those who betrayed him, sources con­firmed that the “Islamic Party” is part of the “can­di­dates exclu­sion” plan to set­tle accounts with its for­mer Secretary-General Al-Hashimi, pro­vid­ing the de-Baathification com­mit­tee with infor­ma­tion on Hashimi’s Al-Tajdid can­di­dates, who joined Allawi’s coalition.

The para­graph comes from the Islamic Party’s statement:

Because of the impor­tance of this issue, it needs to be treated care­fully … The pro­ce­dures must be imple­mented on all those who have neg­a­tive indi­ca­tors with­out politi­ciz­ing the process .…

There are reports con­firmed by Hashimi him­self (in his daily evening chat on face­book) revealed the exis­tence of a doc­u­ment proves the ille­git­i­macy of the “J and A”.

The “J and A” can still argue its case that the Com­mit­tee is directly linked admin­is­tra­tively and legally to the Par­lia­ment, not to the PM office, or the Min­is­ters Coun­cil, nei­ther to the Pres­i­den­tial office. Any order to can­cel the “J and A” must be approved by the parliament.
