Maliki: Iraq strategic policy council is unconstitutional
Friday, July 15, 2011 13:59 GMT
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki believes that the strategic policy council is unconstitutional and can be avoided.
The National Alliance in general will not vote in favor of the council.
In a statement to Al Iraqiya, Al Maliki noted that Iraq needs to keep a number of US trainers to train Iraqi Forces on newly purchased air, land and naval weapons.
The extension of US Forces term in Iraq necessitates a new agreement that should be voted upon by two thirds of Parliament lawmakers, Al Maliki said noting that this is difficult to be attained.
Maliki stressed that talks were held in this regard with different political parties.
During the last meeting held at the house of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, Maliki said that he asked political parties to take a clear stand towards the presence of US Forces in Iraq. Few were clear in this regard, he concluded.
