Accused the former British diplomatic Amy Sky, and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, contributing to the collapse of winning in Iraq after administration the State Department for the past four years.
Sky, known Bjrotha Chancellor, which cooperated with US forces in Iraq, confirmed in her newly released book, that Clinton “dysfunctional” because it encouraged the sectarianism in Iraq after the 2010 elections, according to the allegations diplomacy.
Sky says, too, that when Clinton sought to run for the US presidency in the first instance, was intended to put pressure on Obama to withdraw troops from Iraq, to the conviction that the country will not be able to work in a lonely stroll political affairs. This is what happened when Iraq lost opportunities to achieve genuine reconciliation between the rival parties.
Sky book also includes information about the reasons for the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. Reaffirming that Obama himself was the only one on the withdrawal, citing his appointment, Christopher Hill, US ambassador in Baghdad despite the incompetence and lack of experience in the Arab region, particularly Iraq and its complexity.
And between the British diplomatic book, that Washington paved the way for Nuri al-Maliki former prime minister, to take over the post of prime minister of Iraq for a second term, which personally was able to grab a second term known to the Americans themselves to his dictatorship.
The book also claimed, that Joe Biden, US Vice President, was showing little interest in the complexities of Iraqi politics, and ignores the civil war that took place between the two communities in Iraq, which is similar to some extent tensions between Ireland and Britain.
The rapid withdrawal of US troops from Iraq in 2011, according to the book, it was difficult to achieve a lasting peace opportunities in the post-Saddam Iraq.
Sky said all the chances were dashed, because the balance of power lost to Washington after 2011, when it pulled out of Iraq, leaving a golden opportunity for Tehran in the region and Iraq in particular.
Regional competition between countries, worsened significantly as well as having a large support large sectarian extremist views in the region, including “Daash” organization which benefited from the Sunni grievances in Iraq, to lead a proxy war in the war-torn country, and carried out agendas financiers of that organization.
Amy Sky, working today at the British Academy of Yale University, has visited Iraq for the first time in 2003, after he was an expert in the field of development and researcher British Council in the Palestinian territories.
Sky, proven its extensive experience in Arab affairs, quoted General Ray Odierno, the idea of increasing the number of US forces in Iraq between 2006 and 2007, a few convictions viz., That Washington was convinced not to achieve stability in the country and that in 2010, increasing the conviction on the preparations for withdrawal After the outbreak of failure and despair among the Americans in Iraq.
Sky and attributes this to the lack of convictions, US General Odierno experience in the Middle East, especially the country of complex configuration, such as Iraq.
Sky says, which reveal a large and highly sensitive meetings that occur in the “Green Zone,” the heavily fortified security, Gen. Odierno little experience in Iraq showed his unwillingness to stay there, but Secretary Clinton rejected the allegations and insisted on keeping Gen. his position until discuss things with House White.
Worse still, according to Sky, when Biden visited Baghdad and was angry a little bit, I tried to explain to him that Sky’s political landscape in the country is full of secularists and moderate Islamists who want to overcome the sectarian, but Biden did not understand it.
Diplomatic and reported the incident in her book, and comparing to the story of her grandfather’s Irish who hates the British, no they hate each other, and this is what is happening between the US and Iraq completely.
Sky words adapted from her book, published in the magazine “Politico” American who came entitled “How Obama abandoned democracy in Iraq?”
She says, that the lack of US foreign policy focus on Iraq and support for al-Maliki for a second term after the 2010 elections, mean that Iraq is not ready for democracy yet, he needed a strong man Shiite, this is justified by the Americans to ensure Maliki win a second mandate.
Sky believes it is important to support Abadi well, especially that he had asked more than once to get more weapons to defeat organizing “Daash” in light of the gains achieved by his government against radical organization, especially in Tikrit and the rest of the western provinces, particularly Anbar.
