A source who specializes in political affairs that the totality of the statements of U.S. President Barack Obama, which has intensified in the last two days about the serious crisis in Iraq, are in the "box" hint to the need to step down Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

The source, who preferred anonymity, said Obama In those remarks, emphasized that the conflict in Iraq is the result of the sectarian divisions which have been exacerbated, and that the people of Iraq and its leaders Badahma overcome these differences.

He added that since the outbreak of the current crisis seizure militants (Daash) on the city of Mosul and other areas on the ninth of June, voices that carry the responsibility of al-Maliki what the situation, and increments Ptnaha calls for judgment.

He said the most dangerous in the words of the U.S. president is reportedly told the news program in the network (NBC) when he said: "Some of the forces that may always be divided Iraq, becoming stronger now, and those forces that can maintain the unity of the country becoming weaker" .

Observers believe that Obama's call is consistent with a call to the Shiite cleric in Iraq, Ali al-Sistani on Friday, which urged them to form a government of national unity in Iraq, are "unanimous national broad and beyond the mistakes of the past", in the first veiled criticism of the government of Nouri al-Maliki.

The Obama's remarks and inviting Sistani increasing pressure on al-Maliki, who bloc won the largest number of votes in the last parliamentary elections, which now clings to form the next government.

In the meantime warned the newspaper Financial Times of London that the incursion (Daash) in Iraq is not threatened only division into three parts for the year and the Shiites and the Kurds, but it could threaten the security of the whole Middle East region, which is what makes each of the parties to the regional powers different purpose.

And alerted the newspaper that Iran, for example, which is the most important player in Iraq, seeking to maintain the stability of Iraq as a unified state under the control of Shi'ite allies, namely the full readiness to cooperate with the United States to ensure that, and perhaps contribute to the overthrow of the Maliki government, according to the newspaper .

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the major Sunni power in the region, refer to the Financial Times that they are dealing with Iraq as an arena of the Cold War between Iran and Syria, as it seems that trouble Mach liking Sunni Kingdom.

The paper says London that although Syria which intertwines the situation where with Iraq for several reasons, including the common border and fight the militants opposition, which includes fighters to Daash, but there are reports of Western intelligence agencies refer to penetrate Assad's forces to Daash, in order to portray the conflict in the country that conflict by Sunni militants seeking to overthrow the rule of the Alawites, according to the newspaper.

And stamped (Financial Times), saying: Ankara goal remains the president is to keep their interests in Iraq, especially commercial ones, especially oil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, but the idea of partition may haunt Turkey for fear of transmission of the feelings of separation to the Kurdish minority.

For its part, addressed the newspaper The Times of London developments of the crisis in Iraq, wrote an analysis under the title (It's time to step down Nixon Middle East) in reference to the need for the departure of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, before that happens American intervention against militants organizing the Islamic State in Iraq and the country Sham (Daash).

Says writer Analysis Michael Burleigh The future of Iraq hanging Maliki, who became the West is seen as a personal isolated and without taste, and in time who thinks the prime minister surrounded by problems that his presence is necessary to repel attacks Daash, he realizes most of the Shiites in Iraq before the year that al-Maliki has become part of the dilemma the country, not the solution.

Adds Burley that there are some common traits between Maliki and former U.S. President Richard Nixon, who was forced to step down at the beginning of his second term because of the scandal (Watergate) under the threat of Congress, where he witnessed the Iraqi Parliament divided on granting Maliki's authority to declare a state of emergency, perhaps skeptical how to exploit that power.

The analysis of the newspaper that the paranoia of the common traits between the two men, and appeared with equal access to al-Maliki for his duties, where snatched all positions of Sunni leaders, beginning from the central bank and even intelligence, even if some of them fled the country, as did former Vice President Tariq Hashemi.

He concludes Burley analysis, saying that Maliki's plan only to face (Daash) is to mobilize Iraqi Shiites, a solution that will serve as the use of a plate of gasoline to put out the fire, and therefore it is incumbent upon the West to make sure the end of the role of al-Maliki, which may give some reassurance to the Iraqi Sunnis to fight extremism in their country along with the Shiites.
