In his analysis, which was reviewed by "NAS", (February 12, 2023), investigative journalist Riyad Muhammad, an observer of Iraqi affairs and residing in the United States, said, "Every day, members of the US House of Representatives (who are 435 members) and members of the Senate (who are 100 members) send Dozens or hundreds of letters to the White House."
He added, "These messages are related to various and varied issues, most of which are internal and some are external, and they generally aim to put pressure on the president to make a decision or end a policy."
He continued, "Most of these messages are summarized by the president's aides (the president of the United States has an army of aides that may reach hundreds) and send them to specific offices in the White House such as the budget office or the National Security Council ... etc., or to the office of the White House chief of staff or His deputy," noting that "the majority of these messages do not reach the president himself, because he does not have time to read every letter written to him, and resorts to reading the most important, then the important, and neglects what is not important."
He pointed out that "when 3 members of the House of Representatives ask the President of the United States to take a policy, this does not mean that the president is bound by what they ask, nor is he obligated even to read their letter."
And he stated, "Changing the American policy towards Iraq is possible, but it is moving slowly and is subject to a basic rule, which is the lack of interest of the United States in Iraqi affairs in general," explaining, "The United States will enter the presidential election campaign after months, and this will be the first priority."
He pointed out that "in foreign policy, Iraq is not a priority. Ukraine, Russia, and the relationship with China are much more important," adding: "Fundamentally, foreign policy usually declines in importance in light of democratic administrations that are concerned with issues of the economy, combating inflation, preventing recession, reducing crimes, the issue of weapons, immigration, and abortion." Homosexuals...etc.
And he continued, "And to complete the picture, the news of the message of the 3 members of the House of Representatives to the president about Iraq was not reported in any American media because it is not considered news at all, and certainly it is not urgent or important news."
And he said: "In conclusion, a group of senators from both parties is preparing to issue legislation that ends the authorization given to the president with regard to the 1991 Gulf War and the 2003 war, and thus officially ends America's wars with Iraq, and Biden supported the project because it is compatible with his ideas and policies related to Iraq, and their summary is ending American involvement." in this country."
And he concluded, "All indications indicate that the US reserve will continue its decision taken two years ago and implemented months ago regarding the transfer of dollars to Iraq."
Earlier, members of the US Congress' Foreign Relations and Armed Forces Committee sent a letter to US President Joe Biden's administration to inquire about several Iraqi figures and officials.
The letter, published by the Iraqi blogger residing in the United States of America Stephen Nabil, seen by “NAS” (February 11, 2023), indicated that “Have the Ministries of Foreign Affairs or the Treasury reached out to know whether Faiq Zaidan (the head of the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council) meets the conditions of the sanctions? America on severe human rights abuses...as well as corruption and subsidies."
On the authority of Nabil, the letter carried another question, which read: "What is the status of the sanctions package against Nouri al-Maliki because of terrorism or corruption?...and the governor of the central bank?"
According to the letter, "the deputies who submitted it gave the Biden administration 14 days to officially respond to the demands."
