For the first time, Hizballah provided a new regional military equation, but the most important part in Hassan Nasrallah’s statement, is its credibility, especially in the Israeli society, Hizballah has proved that it is able to implement what it promises, and Nasrallah is convinced that Israel would not repeat what it did in July 2006. This development sounds bigger than Hizballah, but its not if we include its strategic allies: (Iran, Syria, Hamas). Syrian newspaper Al-Watan obtained confirmed information that Hizballah has “ground-to-sea” (rocket or missiles) that can reach 300 km inside Israel, which can cover all the Israeli Mediterranean-coast, and these are one of many strategic arms in possession of the Lebanese resistance.

African coast is full of American and French spies
About a month ago, the Algerian Army Chief of Staff of the Algerian, Lieutenant General Ahmad Saleh Kaid told his African coast-line counterparts that: The absence of coordinated collective action to deter the “terror” threats, will open the doors to the foreign intervention. These are not empty words, Algerian newspaper Echorouk warned that the African coast “Al-Saheel” is full of French and U.S. spies., pretend to be tourists. The newspaper confirmed that under the slogan of “fighting terrorism”, African countries in the region invite foreign, who want to get involved at any cost to get their hand on the “war on terror” card that is usable in various other fields. Countries such as Mali, and Niger witnesses large presence of American …
Sadrists officially rejected Maliki’s nomination
A move sought by some “Dawa Party” leaders as paving the way for creating more positive atmosphere between the Sadrists and the “State of Law”, Maliki has met with a delegation from the Sadrist Movement includes a number of prominent Sadrists leaders. Sadrist “Ahrar Bloc” leader Amir Al-Kenani officially told Maliki the movement’s rejection to his nomination for the prime Minister post. The Sadrists position came as answer to the “State of Law” condition to merge both Shiite parties that their only candidate is Maliki. Even Al-Hakim showed his irritation with Maliki’s insistence on the Prime Minister post in today’s interview on Al-Sharq Al-Awsat saying: The selection of the candidates will be based on the agreed mechanism, if the outcome from …
The renewed U.S. role in Iraq
Some interesting hints started by the Iraq National Alliance, should be noted. “Basim Al-Awadi”, Ammar Al-Hakim’s media adviser told the Arab media today that there is a desire began to emerge in the political arena: The postpone of the issue of the Prime Minister to the next parliament, who could nominate the prime minister by parliamentary vote or a general agreement outside the bilateral alliances. It seems that the Kurds are started to take Allawi’s side, as reported by the media in the last two days. Barazani confirmed Allawi’s eligibility to form the government, and before him Talabani also said something similar. No love lost between the Kurds and Al-Iraqiya, but according to Al-Hayat; the Kurds changed their position after …
The U.S. “secret condition” to support Iran’s Uranium-exchange deal
Despite the statements released by leaders of the new joined coalitions (“State of Law” and Iraq National Alliance”), especially those who are close to Maliki on what they see as progress in the negotiations, Sadrists Baha’a Al-Araji has confirmed that there are no serious meaningful dialogues between the both coalitions, indicating that the meetings held between the parties have not making any progress so far. Reaching a dead end on the formation of the Committee to choose candidates for the prime minister post, the newly joined coalition decided to jump upon this issue, by deciding to choose a name for the coalition and its leader in order to silence the voices that started to rise about the lack of the progress …
The situation after the IHEC and the Appeal Court decisions
Hours after the rare defense shown by the Iraqi prime minister Al-Maliki to defend Saudi Arabia and Syria saying that he don’t believe that the two countries are supporting terrorism and Al-Qaeda, he received a harsh attack from the head of the Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki Al-Faisal, accusing Maliki of trying to steal the recent Iraqi elections. Considered a retreat in his political rhetoric towards the Saudi kingdom and Syria, Maliki failed to understand Al-Faisal’s gesture. Showing a good will, the Saudi intelligence provided the Iraqi security with intelligence information about the former Al-Qaeda leaders (which led to the death of both men) to convince Maliki to drop his demand for a second prime minister term. When Maliki failed …
Allawi’s lost momentum, and Maliki’s comeback
There are some mis-information reporting the statement of the Sadrists spokesman Salah Al-Ubaidi. News agencies reported that the Sadrists lift the ban on Maliki, while Al-Ubaidi said: Maliki’s nomination in the new coalition is a private matter to his party, and and his office, but we still have our reservations. Allawi’s last hope are the conditions put by the Sadrists to accept Maliki, the media reported that the Sadrists demand is to stop the arrests of the Sadrists, which is true but this one of many, such as: Maliki to recognize the resistance against the occupation and to refuse to advance any attempt to extend the stay of the U.S. troops or ask them for assistance. These conditions accepted by most …
Allawi-Maliki meeting postponed once again
Memebrs of Allawi’s Al-Iraqiya List said yesterday, that the List will announce a “surprise” news during the next two days, after Allawi-Maliki meeting (which is postponed or unlikely will happen). Until now, there is now announcement made by Al-Iraqiya, but the so called “surprise” is that Al-Iraqiya will announce itself as a political party and not coalition. Good for member of Al-Iraqiya confidence but not a major impact on the Iraqi politics or the current crisis. Difficult to swallow explanation given by Allawi’s supporters on the coming meeting between Allawi and Maliki: The imminent agreement with Al-Maliki is to prevent the return of the quota system and outside interference in the Iraqi affairs. For Iyad Allawi, he wants, to throw …
The map of the Iraqi political conflict and the level of the U.S. involvement
We note that the Iraqi parliamentary coalitions, large and small are formed by sub-blocs, and the sub-blocs are formed by different parties, political and social (streams, movements .…etc). Therefore it is difficult to unite these groups within a specific place. Recent reports suggest that the “Iraqi National Alliance” (INA), is in talk with the “State of Law” to form a unified parliamentary bloc and to postpone their disputes over who will be the candidate for the prime minister post to a later time. The four major coalitions seats: — Al-Iraqiya List (Iyad Allawi)- 91 seats. — State of Law (Nuri al-Maliki)- 89 seats. — Iraqi National Alliance (Al-Jaafari-Al-Sadr-Al-Hakim)- 70 seats. — the Kurdistan Alliance (Talabani — Barzani)- 43 seats. This means that the new Shiite-Shiite coalition will …
Maliki’s parallel negotiations after the failure to change the votes results
Until few days ago, those who are close to Maliki managed to convince the Prime Minister that IHEC made mistakes with about 750 thousand votes (20 seats), and his best option is to insist on re-counting the votes. Today after re-counting about 90% of the votes so far, according to a statement made by the IHEC said on Saturday that there are no changes in the election results, Maliki left with no options only to go back to the negotiation process. Maliki started to run his negotiations on two parallel lines. The first is negotiating with the Iraqi National Alliance (INA) with all its procedural consequences (such as the ban on Maliki candidacy by the Sadrists). The second is negotiating …
