[size=52]American report: Washington maintains few forces in Iraq to maintain relations[/size]
[size=45]Translated by: Hamed Ahmed[/size]
[size=45]An international report stated that 20 years after the American invasion of Iraq, and the accompanying explosions, shocks and terror, less American forces remained in the country, but steadily to ensure an ongoing relationship with a major partner in the Middle East region at the military and diplomatic level.[/size]
[size=45]A report by the American Associated Press, translated by Al-Mada, stated that "the remaining forces, numbering 2,500 soldiers, are distributed around the country, most of them in military bases in Baghdad and the Kurdistan region."[/size]
[size=45]And the report continued, “While the number of forces at the height of the war during the year 2007 was more than 170,000 soldiers, American officials say that the presence of a limited level of forces, but on an ongoing basis, is a vital and important matter that shows the commitment of the forces to maintain the security of the region against No outside influence.[/size]
[size=45]And he added, “But since the American invasion in 2003, which necessitated the bringing in of tens of thousands of American soldiers, and the passage of twenty years since the overthrow of the previous regime and the advent of a system of governance based on quotas between the political blocs, many Iraqis have been disappointed, after getting rid of a dictatorial regime, because governments The successive government that took over failed to restore basic services, and the continuous battles brought instead massive human suffering.[/size]
[size=45]The report pointed to "resentment and power struggles between rival sectarian parties that ignited a civil war that eventually led to the complete withdrawal of US forces in December 2011."[/size]
[size=45]He stressed, "Sectarian strife was a major cause of the collapse of the country's forces, including the army and police, with their confrontation with the terrorist organization ISIS, which in 2014 invaded large areas of Iraqi and Syrian lands."[/size]
[size=45]And the report stated, “The spread of the threats of the terrorist organization ISIS necessitated the return of American forces again to Iraq in 2014 at the invitation of the Baghdad government.”[/size]
[size=45]And he continues, “During the summer and fall of that year, the coalition forces led by the American army launched a campaign of air strikes against the organization in Iraq and then in Syria, and then returned with a broader effort to train and advise the Iraqi forces.”[/size]
[size=45]The report goes on to state that “the training and advising mission, with additional support from NATO forces, continued even after the end of the war against ISIS and its expulsion from its last stronghold in Syria in March 2019.”[/size]
[size=45]And he stressed, “The retired American general, Frank McKenzie, who assumed the presidency of the Central Command of the US forces in the Middle East for the period from 2019 to 2022, said: (Iraq is still under the pressure of ISIS, and we are still helping the Iraqi forces in the war against ISIS, we have We have done a lot to help them develop their capabilities to preserve their sovereignty, which is very important for the Iraqis.”[/size]
[size=45]The report noted, "The constant reason for the continued presence of US forces is to assist Iraq in its war against the remnants of the terrorist organization ISIS militants and to prevent the re-emergence of its threats."[/size]
[size=45]He continued, "The presence of the American forces in Iraq also provides important logistical support to the American forces present in Syria, which provide support to the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Forces in their war against ISIS there."[/size]
[size=45]The report talked about "the implementation of air strikes and other missions by US forces targeting the leaders of the organization, as well as supporting the Syrian Kurdish forces that are guarding thousands of ISIS militants and their families detained in Syria."[/size]
[size=45]He added, "In his recent visit to Baghdad and his meeting with Iraqi leaders, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that US forces are ready to stay in Iraq, in a non-combat role, at the invitation of the government."[/size]
[size=45]According to the report, “Austin also said: (We are deeply committed to ensuring that the Iraqi people can live in peace and dignity, in safety and security, with economic opportunities for all).”[/size]
[size=45]And the report emphasized, “In a statistic of war losses since 2003 until the withdrawal of combat forces in December 2011, Iraq lost tens of thousands of civilian deaths, with 4,487,000 American forces killed and 32,000 other American soldiers wounded during the battles.”[/size]
[size=45]He explained, “The report of the Special Inspector General for the Iraq Reconstruction Campaign stated that for the period from 2003 to 2012 the United States spent $60.64 billion to finance the Civil Effort Fund for the Reconstruction of Iraq and to support the Iraqi security forces.” $20 billion of those allocations went to finance, arm, equip and train the Iraqi security forces.[/size]
[size=45]And the report went on, that “the Congressional Defense Committee stated during the period between 2007 and 2010 that there were 100 thousand contractors annually in Iraq providing services and support to the American forces and the American mission as well. According to US Central Command, as of the end of last year there were 6,500 contractors providing support for US operations in Iraq and Syria.[/size]
