political blocs, the exchange of accusations between the relevant
parties, and the top votes of those belonging to the State of law
coalition and the Liberal block.
And the explosion of debate on
the package when uncovered the servent media adviser to Prime Minister
Nouri al-Maliki, (10th of November 2012), the cancellation of the last

Saadoun al-dulaimi, the Agency cancelled the deal, saying he bore
responsibility for Iraqis from any suspicion of corruption ".
Question
marks have escalated when former official spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh, 19

Ali al-Dabbagh, was
reported in an interview (range) in the 20 November 2012, before being

Russia
was, in the former regime, one of the largest suppliers of arms and
equipment to Iraq but the entry of US troops into the country in 2003
gave preference to Washington, Moscow's traditional rival, in Iraq,
despite the recent period has seen a trend of the Government of Iraq
towards the diversification of sources of armaments "and the signing of
economic exchange.
