    Iraqi diplomat: Maliki took me from Tokyo to Washington to seek U.S. help



    09/09/13 Joel Brinkley *


    Maybe hard to believe that the Iraqi government wants to return the United States to Iraq, and in the case.

    Luqman says Philly, the Iraqi ambassador in Washington, during a breakfast a few days ago, "We (the Americans) in the burning area," he said, adding, "I think you Thtajohnna."

    Yes, the Middle East burns, he says Philly. And Iraq in deep trouble, Like most of the region. Almost every day kills 20 or 30 or 50 people in terrorist attacks generally involving Sunnis kill Shiites or vice versa. 83 people were killed in attacks on Sunday through Thursday (last week), brought the total number of deaths so far this year to more than 3800 people.

    But Philly, he said that his government did not ask the United States bring its troops back to Iraq. No, Philly says that Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki moved from his job as ambassador to Japan and sent to America a few months ago to carry the message that: We need government assistance.

    In the past few days, output Iraqis angry demonstrations on salaries and lavish retirement of members of parliament, although the parliament is largely active for several years, and locked in a partisan struggle.

    While not done Parliament a little something about, but the parliamentarians rewarded themselves of the benefits and pensions up to about 8 thousand dollars per month, or 96 thousand dollars a year, with a gross national income 5870 dollars, and 25 percent of the population of this oil-rich country living below the poverty line. Last spring, the government has canceled 10 licenses for television stations they saw that covered news criticize.

    In the past month, the Interior Ministry banned other protests against the government.

    With all of this, what the United States needs Iraq?

    Philly asserts that "Iraq is one of the very few countries provide read and realistic about the region," he said, adding, "But Iraq is still not read his policy is correct !"

    Here interrupted his assistant, Commercial Counselor Nofal Hassan, without asking for confirmation "It's not about flying!" Two days ago, said a spokesman for al-Maliki said Iraq will prevent any flight in the airspace, American or other aircraft was attacking Syria.

    Maliki was one of those who refused to sign an acceptable agreement in 2011 that would allow for a small band of American soldiers to stay in Iraq to help the government in dealing with security problems.

    Even at that time, Iraq was facing several terrorist attacks in the month. More recently, increased the frequency of attacks almost daily.

    The carry Philly Qaeda and "remnants of the Saddam regime" for the violence, which is "the interpretation of the same Iraqi government officials, who use it when I was in Iraq ten years ago."

    Hassan said, "on the basis of utilitarian, you hate or war like the war, condemns or regrets what happened ten years ago," when the United States invaded Iraq, "but now we have many common interests."

    Philly stressed that the country does not seek foreign assistance behind. As the existence of all of this oil, "we can pay," but what Iraq can not do, also acknowledged Philly, is an efficient government on the ground.

    "We need to help create a workable budget. It is the best of the United States to help us build our system?" The problem basically needing attention, as Willy says, is "corruption," and in the corruption index of Transparency International puts Iraq shameful ranked seventh among the most corrupt nations of the earth.

    No, but there is more. The ambassador said that Iraq wants to help in health care, education, culture, defense, and social services, and the economy.

    Philly added, "We are sitting on billions of barrels of oil, but no one has clean water. Need to experience in water treatment." He noted Aldeplomasean the that the their country Mottagzm the technology, too.

    Hassan has said that he "Until now, we use a system based on the writing on the paper." He added, "Everything is done with paper."

    Philly says "We can not send any document without having sign Genuine them. So we use the scanner (Skinner) everything." Perhaps the United States would do well to be the owner of Iraq again. But this idea does not come without complications. As to address all the problems that the number Philly, perhaps we need to send dozens of advisers and specialists to Baghdad and other parts of the country.

    And the existence of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, al-Qaeda branch in Iraq, move freely and kill dozens of people every week, Americans who will work there will be more attractive targets probably Shiite. So maybe on Washington to send military staff to protect those Americans. Perhaps Maliki will not accept this.

    Philly, however, defended it, and implicitly threatened at the same time, that "it is unwise to abandon your investment in Iraq, and he had to leave the Thanin in preference, the Chinese or the Russians. Do not forget Iraq."
