Iraq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iraq continues to flaunt its hostilities toward America and to support terror. The Iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax, and nerve gas, and nuclear weapons for over a decade... This is a regime that agreed to international inspections — then kicked out inspectors. This is a regime that has something to hide from the civilized world... By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes [Iran, Iraq and North Korea] pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred."[17]

However, according to a comprehensive U.S. government report, no weapons of mass destruction have been found since the invasion.^[18] Yet, there are news reports which contradict this.^[1
Following the invasion, the United States established the Coalition Provisional Authority to govern Iraq.^[20] Government authority was transferred to an Iraqi Interim Government in June 2004, and a permanent government was elected in October 2005. More than 140,000 Coalition troops remain in Iraq.

In recent times the Diaspora seems to be reversing with the increased security of the last few months, and the Iraqi government claims that so far 46,000 refugees have returned to their homes in October of 2007 alone.
The federal government of Iraq is defined under the current Constitution as an Islamic, democratic, federal parliamentary republic.
On October 15, 2005, more than 63% of eligible Iraqis came out across the country to vote on whether to accept or reject the new constitution.

VIDEO -- The Obama (A LYING CANDIDATE) Iraq Documentary: Whatever the Politics Demand

this Obama is a devious piece of work; a venomous creep who has caused more of coalition soldiers to die because he created the animosity in th world for America. This candidate for presidency of America IS THE PROBLEM NOT THE SOLUTION. He has unermined our troops consistently, undermined America "consistently" and his woman does the same. The MINISTER is also an anti-American "jerk".

“I wouldn’t read too much into any particular statement at any one time. The two countries are committed to reaching an agreement.”
Mr. Maliki is under pressure to demonstrate his independence from Washington and is currently enjoying a spike in popularity following successful military operations in Basra and Sadr City.
Both leaders face elections this fall in which their parties face substantial electoral challenges, so they have to proceed carefully, mindful of the political dangers of negotiating sensitive measures in an election year.
Moktada al-Sadr, who has a significant following among the poor, opposes the agreement.
We can not give permission to the American forces’ independent right to arrest Iraqis or execute operations against terrorism. We can not allow them to use the Iraqi skies and waters at all times.”
Within Iraq, different Iraqi political factions hold varying views. Sunnis and Kurds tend to be more open to an agreement, while some of the Shiite factions, which are closer to Iran, are more critical of it.

Iraq's al-Maliki wants short-term US agreement

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Iraq has proposed a short-term memorandum of understanding with the United States rather than trying to hammer through a formal agreement on the presence of U.S. forces, the country's prime minister said Monday.

Some type of agreement is needed to keep U.S. troops in Iraq after a United Nations mandate expires at year's end.
"The goal is to end the presence" of foreign troops, said al-Maliki.
At the same time, however, Zebari said that if the two sides could not agree, Iraq would either have to seek an extension of the U.N. mandate or pursue the type of memorandum of understanding that al-Maliki announced Monday.
The contentious issues are U.S. authority to carry out military operations in Iraq and arrest the country's citizens, plus legal immunity for private contractors and control of Iraqi air space.
Zebari said the U.S. had agreed to drop immunity for private contractors and give up control of Iraqi air space if the Iraqis guaranteed they could protect the country's skies with their limited air force.
The Iraqi government's decision to push the U.S. for a less formal agreement comes at a time when the government feels increasingly confident about its authority and improved stability in the country.
