The US administration has agreed to a series of Iraqi requests made by the former Iraqi government to buy arms, as these requests almost tripled in the course of this year alone.
The estimated value of this demand $ 15 billion US Dollars, and this will push the Pentagon factories to work to equip the Iraqi side applications and contract deals massive arming between the two sides again.
The Congress has reservations about talking to sales resulting from the armament contracts, particularly the expected sales by the Iraqi side, which has been announced by the United States last week.
Iraq and submitted a request for the purchase of Abrams tanks set type "M1A1" as well as Humvees equipped with machine guns.
And stimulated the battle, waged against Iraq militants "Daash," the government to request more expensive weapons price, including fighter jets and attack helicopters and laser-guided missiles. During this year, the Pentagon has given over "security cooperation" section in the ministry, the Iraqi side arms worth $ 5 billion, not to mention the armament contracts between the parties, which took place five years ago and was worth $ 7 billion paid last year.
At the beginning of this year, Iraq was again asked to buy weapons from the United States, but Congress did not agree to the deal and put pressure on the Ministry of Defense and the US administration itself, not to hold arming with Iraq speed record deals, considering that last year received a batch of weapons It is not possible weaponization of this year as well.
Fear of Congress and reprimanded the two institutions Americas are known in advance, it is feared the occurrence of these weapons, however, the enemy or extremists. The rapid decline of Iraqi oil would make Iraq is unable to pay the costs of the weapons they want, especially it's expensive.
A US senator from the Senate, he submitted an application to the US Department of access to monthly updates on the ministry's assessments of the Iraqi army and how much has the day of the weapons and how they can keep the rest of the Atadeh?
In light of these facts, the Pentagon is trying to put pressure on customers and agents to make these deals secured financially, or at least paid on credit, the fact that the US administration is well aware that Iraq's budget for this year to Atsd a big deal expenses, Pentagon became two choices, either to cancel the deal or obtaining approval from Congress to re-classified as aid offered to the Iraqi side and pay bill the United States later.
I have led the fight against the militants, "Daash", recognizes Iraq US-made missiles type "Hellfire", as well as receiving intelligence surveillance equipment from the Pentagon.
According to the International Institute of Strategic Studies, the Middle East and North Africa are preparing one of the most import defensive arms markets, as the institute predicted that up demand value on the purchase of arms in those areas advanced level in the next five years by about $ 100 billion.
He gave the International Institute in Iraqi affairs as the most prominent scene today globally, he stressed, that the country has spent about $ 17 billion for weapons in the past year alone.
Iraq wants Abrams tank number 175 tank, with ammunition and spare parts and accessories Other, as it will cost the country this number about three billion and a half billion dollars, but disabled the most prominent is that the donor company and cooperating with the Pentagon may linger in the processing of such a large number, especially that it has reduced since the mid-year last number of employees because of financial and administrative problems, specifically in the "Lima factory" Actually, Ohio US.
A military commander earlier this regard, that these tanks will work for years and do not need to be renewed or maintenance.
As he says gm Hask, strategic policies in the Council of Atlantic Analyst, Congress refused to supply Iraq with the last of his request he will introduce the country into more problems on the grounds that he has a little bit of money is not enough for him to buy what he wants, and he asked Hask at the same time, whether Iraq will benefit from these heavy weapons or not? Because the war is known as the "war of the cities" and needed a way this war is to get a medium machine guns, mortars, rocket launchers not a big tank.
But most likely that the country wants these tanks to enrich military prestige lost since last June. Iraq seeks to receipt of fighter planes bought from the United States earlier and did not take delivery until now because of Washington's concerns about the political use of qualifying through the bombing of the public representative of the party without the other.

With the decline in oil prices, Iraq has been reluctant to pay for arms imports given full approval in imports on the export of crude oil, with this impairment worrying Iraq may be delayed too much to contain its current crisis and defeat the militants, "Daash" faster and announce it in the media.
