The New York Times on Wednesday, said Obama did what was expected and that by sending arms to Iraq in order to meet the escalating violence. But weapons alone will not solve the problem that took root in the political isolation of the Year and other other components, and undermine the political process, especially by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. The newspaper said: I’ve arrived bloodshed to catastrophic levels, where he died more than 8 thousand Iraqis in 2013, including 952 members of the security forces. That was the highest level of deaths since 2008, which refutes the sayings of some administration officials who claimed that “Iraq today is less violent than at any time in modern history.”
The bloody escalation is attributed to the group Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant “Daash” belonging to al-Qaeda, a Sunni group with an active force in the north and west of the country. Group that preceded it, al-Qaida in Iraq, fueled armed actions that pushed the country close to civil war in 2006 and 2007 before Tendhr at the hands of Sunni tribal groups and American troops.
officials say the Americans that the Islamic state is trying to deliberately tearing Iraq. During his visit to the White House in November, Maliki was looking for help Obama, which represents a real turn after it failed to reach a deal to keep a small number of U.S. troops in the country after 2011 to train Iraqi forces and intelligence gathering.
During the last week, was delivered 75 Joe Rocket – Hellfire land to be launched on militant camps with the CIA to assist in targeting, is expected to deliver 10 unmanned aircraft in March. The Obama administration also plans to supply Iraq with 48 reconnaissance aircraft in addition to the implementation of the process of the first request for F-16 aircraft. This pushes Congress AC to rent and then sell Apache helicopters to Iraq. Maliki was, and remains at the center of the unrest, uses of power in favor of the Shiites at the expense of the year, fueling the sectarian conflict, and provides a climate that helps the militants to attract fighters.
says U.S. officials said al-Maliki and other officials in Iraq have finally understood the dangers of extremism growing and the fact that the security approach alone will not bring stability.
newspaper added: They say that the Iraqi security forces has recently been more successful against militants and al-Maliki and his government have shown more willingness to cooperate with the year, and in resolving disagreements oil with the Kurds and the development of a new agreement aims to promote civil peace and social development.
, but with ambivalence authoritarian, it is hard to feel optimistic. The day Tuesday, gave more than 40 Sunni legislator resigned from parliament and threatened ministers of the year to pull out of the government after the forces Maliki’s security dismantle the camp used by the sitters Sunnis who are protesting the mistreatment and oppression by the government.
however provided weapons, information and advice, the Obama administration needs to put pressure on al-Maliki and other Iraqi leaders in order to ensure the freedom and fairness of elections in April, and an obligation to adopt laws to meet the grievances of the year, they also need to prepare to stop the delivery of arms in the case of misuse or if it persists Maliki in preference interests to the interests of the country.
