New York Times is supposed to be meeting Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and U.S. President Obama - the first meeting since October 2009 - an opportunity to announce the successful conclusion of the Iraq war and the start of a normal relationship between the two friendly countries. It is likely that the two leaders confirmed their commitment to non-military of implications for the Strategic Framework Agreement for 2008 - such as trade, education and investment - and to discuss specific ways that will continue through the United States help Iraqi forces after 2011.
Picture of these relations will look comfortable for the Americans and Iraqis who want to believe that things will be fine after the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, but this is nothing but a mirage, where they are based on perceptions is accurate to the situation in Iraq and the policy-Maliki, as it lacks a strategy to ensure vital American interests in the region. Even after the departure of the last American soldiers, the U.S. interests in Iraq include:
First, to ensure Iraq's contribution to the security of the Middle East, not undermined by state collapse and civil war or the establishment of the dictatorship of sectarianism.
Second: ensuring that the terrorist groups loyal to al Qaeda or the Iranian-backed establishment havens in Iraq.
Third: Establishment of Iraq is committed to its international responsibilities.
Fourth: to contain Iranian influence to the detriment of U.S. interests in Iraq and the region.
Fifth: the reference to the American commitment to the region at a pivotal moment in history. Ensure that U.S. interests and the other requires two basic conditions: First, Iraq must be able to control the sky, water and protection of land. Second, Iraq must maintain the unity of the multi-ethnic population and communities, as this unit was established in 2008 and 2009, it had been eroding since the formation of the current government. Seems that these two conditions will not be achieved in the coming years.
Despite the fiery rhetoric that is characterized by al-Maliki and U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Iraq is unable to defend his land or sky. It is not for Iraq war planes able to protect the air sovereignty will not be able to for several years, according to the words of Gen. Frank Helmick, deputy commander of U.S. forces in Iraq.
He adds Helmick said the challenges facing Iraq, including security threats foreign and militias backed by Iran and al-Qaeda and other groups of violent extremists, and Iraq must continue by clicking on these totals, and the vulnerabilities include the sovereignty of Iraq's air and the ability of air defense and the ability to protect the quays of oil and the ability to do joint military operations to defend the outside and the coexistence of infantry, armor, artillery and engineering.
Iraqi security forces are unable to sustain their capabilities and equipment and are unable to meet new challenges. U.S. training missions, the only remaining dedicated to the Iraqi police and there are no agreements for training and the assignment of the Iraqi army after the end of this year. Helmick says, "Dealing with these gaps is the subject up to the Iraqis, who are fend for him.
