As often, the Sadrists did not hesitate to express their rejection to the U.S. Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to Baghdad with their own style, by putting their mark on this visit with three Katyusha rockets exploded around the U.S. embassy in the Green Zone.
At the same time, the Supreme Council led by Ammar Al-Hakim did not issue an official position on the scenario for the formation of the government, but the condemnation expressed by the Sadrists, either through a statement released by Muqtada Al-Sadr, in which he called, Maliki and Allawi not to bow to the U.S. Pressure, or a statements made by the leader of the Supreme Council Sadr al-Din Qabanji — close to Iran, which he noted that Biden’s visit aims to pressure the Iraqi leaders to implement the American agenda.
According to Maliki’s spokesman Ali Al-Dabagh, Biden presented three suggestions to Maliki which (in Biden’s opinion) can formulate the shape of the coming goverment in Iraq. Further, Dabagh gave no details on these three suggestions.
1st scenario:
2nd scenario:
Emphasized by Biden in previous visit, according to sources, who wish to form a government, and has previously put on the Iraqi factions during his previous visit to Baghdad.
The coalition of the willing, is the re-formation of the parliamentary map between those who wish to form a majority government and those who prefer to stay in the opposition. This scenario is rejected by the Kurds and the Supreme Council, stressing on the importance of forming a national unity government.
3rd scenario:
The shift towards the concept of strategic partnership requires a technocrats-government, can be formed from the various political blocs distributed on the govermental sovereign posts, which may be closer to the quotas “Muhasasa” formation of the previous government led by Maliki. Maliki, Allawi agreed with this scenario, while rejected by the Kurds and the Iraqi National Alliance.
The common line between all these scenarios is to avoid the formation of a government based on quotas where the security forces are controled by parties loyal to Iran, particularly those militias formed in Iran, reffering to Badr Organization, the armed wing of the Supreme Islamic Council, or the Iranian-backed militias such as Asaib Al-Haq, and Hezbollah Brigades, which are described as a terrorist groups by the U.S. military.
