And he considered that there is "a lot of intended misunderstanding about the relationship of the international coalition and the Iraqi government, as the United States does not want a permanent military presence in Iraq, and during the past five years we have fought with the Iraqis many wars against" ISIS ", and we are currently at the end of it," revealing, " Technical dialogues to discuss the redeployment and reduction of forces, because circumstances have changed, and the number, skills and role will be determined by circumstances.
He added: “There are extremist voices that reach the point of launching missiles to target the military presence and the diplomatic presence, and this does not represent the Iraqi people or the interest of Iraq, and if this discourse triumphs over the interest of Iraq, this prompts a review of many issues, not between [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and America, but between [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]And the international coalition in general. ”
Toller: There is a lot of intended misunderstanding about the relationship of the international coalition and the Iraqi government. The United States does not want a permanent military presence in Iraq. During the past five years, we have fought many wars with the Iraqis against “ISIS”, and we are currently at the end of it and
continued: “Iraq has demonstrated its commitment. "As a host country for the international coalition, it will provide protection to coalition personnel and diplomatic institutions, and the Al-Kazemi government takes this commitment seriously .. The government is facing the challenges of imposing law in the face of militias that do not respect the law."
And he considered that the current government "represents the will of the Iraqi people who want to apply the law to all groups, and there will be support for the Iraqi government to implement the law, but the important role of the government is to protect citizens, protect embassies and international forces, and stop political interference from some neighboring countries."
