The disclosure came a day after Washington requested Iraq to stop Iranian flights that cross its territory en route to Syria on suspicion of carrying weapons to Damascus, during a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with Iraqi Vice President MP, pm yesterday, in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
A source close to the Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) led by Massoud Barzani told us diplomats last President of coalition of Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi accuses agreement signed between Washington and Baghdad, allowing any US intervention to defend the sovereignty and independence of Iraq, as the survival of Iraq under Chapter VII allows this too, because the topic is related to global peace and security.
The source added that important contacts in the u.s. Congress that Allawi and Barzani she confessed US Government apologies for its support to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to be Chairman of partnership Government, particularly since the Syrian crisis demonstrated that Al-Maliki stands within walking distance from Iran which is a shock to us officials who knew him closely and they always talk about the strong cooperation with the United States.
And now the Foreign Relations Committee of the US Congress's relationship with Al-Maliki, where secret assessment on policies this guy for over a year and a half of Syrian crisis events.
According to Iraqi Kurdish source, many American circuits, primarily the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were the only Shiite ally Maliki, near Washington, and reinforce this assessment in 2008 when he ordered an attack on the Mahdi Army of cleric Moqtada Sadr, has contributed in shaping Washington's belief that Al-Maliki personally prepared to face Iran in the region, but this development doesn't get at all, As Syrian events showed that a mysterious political manipulator and perhaps deal with the US Government's trickery in previous periods.

It was Al-Maliki attributed these events to his attempts to reduce Iranian support for militias and help impose the authority of the State, but these meetings continued until today raised doubts about the truth of their objectives.
The Kurdish official said that Al-Maliki seeks to President Bashar Al-Assad to be part of any future electoral process, when asked by Senator John McCain on one occasion: "are you sure beats lion in elections?, he replied:" Yes I have convinced a large popular support for a lion. "
According to the source, one of the most important reasons that prompted Washington to review the relationship with Al-Maliki is ongoing animus Saudi Arabia despite us attempts to open important channels between Al-Maliki and the Saudi leadership, however, the men had a prior position opposed to improving the relationship with Riyadh.
The source noted that some US diplomats advised Al-Maliki closer political relationship with Jordan and Saudi Arabia in particular, because the two countries played an important intelligence to fight Al-Qaida in Iraq and contributed to the detection of many export networks of terrorists inside Iraq, at a time when the Syrian regime offers various facilities for the transit of terrorists and suicide bombers to Iraqi cities, however, though al-Maliki was determined to strengthen relationship with Tehran and Damascus and deal with negative Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
