before the last US troops out of Iraq in December 2011 Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al -Maliki traveled, then, to Washington to meet with the team helps build a picture of thefuture of Iraq after the withdrawal of soldiers and tanks Alamirkah.khalal dinner session at «Blair House »sat Iraqi Prime Minister sipping tea while I spoke Secretary of State Hillary Clinton how civilian experts in her department will be able to help the Iraqis to avoid a return to the shafts of terrorism and sectarian Aldmoah.vi later Clinton said ,speaking with reporters, outlined the promises made by the Obama administration for theowners:« Iraq will witness the presence civilians were active and we are serious about working to achieve it. »later sought foes Clinton politicians to blame her and President Obama managed to « Daesh »from taking over Iraq 's western regions, they have accused the Foreign Ministry of failing to maintain security gains. In a speech last Monday «Donald Trump» Republican candidate for president , said: «It was theemergence of Daesh direct result of political decisions taken by President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton.» However, a thorough review of records by taking over Clinton her time out we more broadly slips and poor accounts signed by the parties Many of them , the State Department and the White House and the US Congress.Records and interviews indicate that the State Department officials who had prepared theambitious plans to take on dozens of programs run by the military in Iraq, such as training Iraqi police and to help them and to establish new centers in Mosul and other important Iraqi cities to gather intelligence. However, the Foreign Ministry wrote off many of those plans or made. Sometimes it was because of a recommendation from members of the skeptics in Congress and sometimes by orders issued by the White House , which was often reluctant to front of the high costs.
There are other errors with significant figures from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also signed, as according to documents and interviews with previously officials they work in programs to help Iraq after the withdrawal. Has reached a joint investigation by ProPublica Foundation and the Washington Post that the State Department had begun in early 2012, under White House pressure to cut the US civilian presence in Iraq, theapplication of deductions wide comprehensive spread to the security initiatives and measures to combat terrorism , which was considered of fundamental and decisive day in securing stability in Iraq after the withdrawal of US troops Menh.icol , current and former US officials familiar with the Clintons, who was a member of the national security team at the time, had argued from the start in defense of the many programs that arestopped by the State Department at the end. It was the mistakes of US policy in Iraq, always hunting for the Democratic Party candidate for the presidency and undermine its efforts to provide a rich record in foreign policy. While Clinton was constantly pushing for the benefit to have the participation of more powerful and clearer by the Iraqi army and the alliance of the tribes to help them repel «Daesh», and its argument based mainly on the need to expand programs that have already reduced during the period of taking office after the withdrawal of US troops in 2011 .tefid documents and officials that theState Department team , which ran a deduction under the direction of the White House operation has ended a fiscal surplus of $ 1.6 billion. That money was intended starting to Iraq, but released for use in areas of conflict Other, such as Ibia.hma cuts and downsizing was taking place , despite opposition from US commanders on the ground who say that reducing some basic assistance programs (which reached attributed in some cases to more than 90 percent ) the US government made in increasing his chagrin on the rapid developments. Some former officers who were running programs toassist Iraq , said the cuts were a factor in the deterioration during the months before theattack «Daesh» in 2014.
arent strategic pressure , current and former officials in the Obama administration defended Clinton , saying it was one of the strongest voices that defended the need tokeep the US presence in Iraq. Former aide to Clinton say she had argued publicly and privately in favor of a residual force of US troops in Iraq after December 31, 2011, and when it failed in this endeavor tried to get the support of the White House and Congress for the disbursement of the money went to the security program in Iraq run by civilians.Says Deputy Foreign Minister «Anthony Pellnkn» recalling: «this thing captures the thinking because it has realized since then that al - Qaeda has receded but not death throes, and was insisting on us and on the Iraqi side to continue to take the fight tothem.» concluded Accountants boarders at a time later that Clinton aides have gone too far in Astqtaathm the aim of reducing civilian aid to Iraq, so they Javoa wisdom sometimes. According to an internal audit by the Inspector General of the Foreign Ministry that the reductions achieved the goals of cost - cutting, but the priorities of US foreign policy have not been respected in Iraq, in the words of the report. Aides say the former Clinton said some deductions not being fully utilized only after leaving the Clinton office in early 2013, despite the fact that plans were in place and ready. However , the report does not mention the role of Clinton in the cuts herself or her opinion Viha.ord in the report issued by the Inspector General 's Office in 2013, citing interviews with officials from the ministry in Washington and Baghdad: «have passed in the wake of thetransition from the task that was handled by the military to those taken up by civilians period of time where no strategic decisions are not taken, has been one of the officials fired on the period described arent pressing strategic phase. »the report said that thedeductions were subject to the concerns felt by the Congress and the White House that deliberately Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the rapid reduction in expenses and to address the security vulnerabilities in order to respond to the desire of the Iraqi government in anAmerican presence diplomat more normalization, in the words of the report. when asked the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry statement of the reasons for those deductions response message to the e - mail in which he said that diplomats were lacking staffs and financial resources to continue in many of the programs . * for the Washington Post[/rtl]
