"
He added that negotiations between Baghdad and Washington will discuss among other files are: "the number and type of training the trainers and the places where training will be, in addition to the size and type of armament."
The Deputy Prime Minister Ruz Nuri Shawis after a meeting of the blocks last Tuesday, an agreement the leaders to «mandated the government to begin talks with the American side is limited to training issues under the strategic framework agreement to Iraq's need for training .. and it should be any relationship is determined in all its aspects to promote the full sovereignty Iraq, where political leaders will be watching the talks to consider any final agreement with the American side, that is these talks in a spirit of friendship and cooperation ».
Informed political source "morning" recently, that "there are political orientation of the political blocs to keep power limited offer air support and the training of Iraqi forces to arms for a period not exceeding two years," noting that "the power that may remain will not be licensed to conduct military operations or bombing air, but in full coordination with Iraqi authorities and are subject to Iraqi laws outside the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, where it will be based. "
In a related context, a U.S. military official announced that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad will represent the American side in the negotiations that are expected to start soon with the Iraqi government on keeping part of the U.S. forces in Iraq for training purposes.
A spokesman for U.S. forces, Brigadier General Jeffrey Buchanan in a statement to the transfer site Radio Free Iraq: that the negotiations "have not yet started. It will be the U.S. side, led by the embassy. It is thus premature to talk about the details of concrete, or what is required by the Government of Iraq in particular, or What can the U.S. government to offer support. "
The news agencies and the media talked about the negotiations will take place on keeping U.S. force in Iraq would range its numbers between 10 thousand and 15 thousand for the training of Iraqi forces to use the new weapons will sign for the purchase of Iraq, but a spokesman for U.S. forces, General Jeffrey Buchanan confirmed that the technical negotiations is to be discussed detail the number of trainers and concentration areas, and it will address the issue of providing legal immunity for American troops that will remain.

The Buchanan that the number of military bases in Iraq fell from 92 to 47 base and added: "In the first of last December was 92 base under the control of the United States, that number had dropped into the night yesterday to 47 basis, and continue to deliver these rules to the Iraqi government is a long process. We do not leave, and leave behind us, but we take a number of measures to re-Qaeda is in better shape than at the time we got to it. and re-use of equipment or transfer responsibility to the Iraqi government. "
On keeping a part of the U.S. forces for the training of Iraqi forces, and in spite of this Agreement, the views about it seem incompatible in the parliamentary community, as predicted MP for the Iraqi bloc Nahida Daini that raises the issue of maintaining the U.S. trainers differences in the House because members of the Council reject granting immunity trainers.
However, the MP for the National Alliance on Alfalh confirmed that the number of U.S. trainers will not exceed 160 coaches and they will not do any operations requiring access to the immunity.

It continued in the "current term of the Brigade of the promised day of the current military powers, and this brigade will not stop military resistance, and in line with the political resistance adopted by the Liberal parliamentary bloc."
And on the authority of Prime Minister to negotiate with Washington, he saw the House of Representatives decision to authorize the Muhammad Al-Khalidi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to negotiate with U.S. forces is a natural and realistic. "
He said in a press statement: "Any decision reached by the Maliki after negotiating with the Americans will return to the House of Representatives for the purpose of endorsing it and this is normal because the Council is ultimately decides to stay or the departure of occupation forces."
Khalidi said, adding: "We are awaiting the report, which will be sent from Maliki to see what the status of these forces, as well as tasks to be performed in the country," explaining that "there is no fear of the delegation of Maliki."
The leaders of political blocs Juloa at their last meeting the Prime Minister to negotiate with the U.S. side on whether to keep a section of U.S. forces in Iraq after the year 2011 for the purposes of training. "
But the MP for the Iraqi List, Khalid al-Alwani, described leaders of political blocs give the prime minister the right to negotiate to keep U.S. troops in the country end of this year an abdication of responsibility to the Iraqi people.
He said that "al-Maliki during negotiating with the occupation forces to keep the forces Tdrbebh but bear a great responsibility to the Iraqi people who reject the presence of the occupier under any pretext," noting in a press statement that "the Iraqi security forces are ready and can take over security, especially when the forces occupying abandoned the security file in full since last year and Iraqi forces have demonstrated their ability to take responsibility for security in the country as a whole is no need for U.S. troops to stay permanently. "
Center, the MP from the Islamic Supreme Council Habib Terminal on the need to determine the number of trained Americans, and the time required to complete the training of Iraqi forces.
The Terminal: "When the Prime Minister was authorized to negotiate with the Americans on the survival of trained Iraqi forces, the need for those trained technical authorities determined that the number is very small and within a limited timeframe."
He continued: "We should not be that coaches need to open, but a specific time-bound and a limited number of trainers, and see what the process is directly to be surrounded by the credibility and transparency to deal with that dangerous."
He explained that the terminal, "the Supreme Islamic Council refuses to stay, even if a U.S. soldier and one Iraqi on the ground, and this presence is an insult to the Iraqi soil," as he put it, stressing that "Iraq is able to protect the soil and sky and water."
