11/01/2014
People: likely to get Iraq in months on Apache combat-capable high, edging the US Senate to support Iraq's request for strike aircraft after a change in the position of Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Board following the clashes, which was standing opposite of Washington to supply Baghdad with such aircraft.
Senator Lindsay Graham and Sen. John McCain have called on the Government of the United States to play an active role in Iraq in order not to lose the security gains made during the years of fighting the Americans.
But Sen. Robert Menéndez, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was previously required to obtain certain guarantees to support the rental and sale of dozens of Apache helicopters to the Government of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Menéndez's concerns have focused on whether the United States ensure that Maliki will use these aircraft against political opponents and whether the Government of Obama provided sufficient information to Congress on efforts to ensure that Iran will not send military aid to President Bashar Al-Assad over Iraqi airspace.
Spokesman Adam Sharon's Foreign Affairs Committee, "the Administration is now studying the concerns raised first in July and which need answers before continuing this sale," adding: "while these issues adequately, the President of the (Committee) Menéndez will be ready to move forward," Noting that "the arms deals that could be approved is the sale and rental of Apache helicopters and f16 warplanes.
And the speaker of the House John Boehner Obama Government to do more to help Baghdad fight the rebels but did not amount to a call for us troops to Iraq. Benner said earlier that the President himself to take a position more effective in dealing with this issue in Iraq, and we need to send military equipment to the Iraqis with other services that enable them to cope with terrorism, noting that there are things that we can help to Iraq, without sending American troops on the ground.
According to news sites, said Penner "for the President himself to play a larger role in dealing with the issues of Iraq, adding" it is necessary to provide Iraqis with equipment and other services will help in efforts to combat terrorism that are trying to do. There are things we can do to help the Iraqis do not themselves involve us forces. "
Two years after the withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq the United States is working to accelerate supply Iraq with shipments of Hellfire missiles and reconnaissance aircraft and other equipment requested by Al-Maliki to assist Iraqi forces in tackling Al-Qaeda fighters who returned to Anbar where it seems that the conflict in neighboring Syria feeds the growing hardcore activity.
Prior to that, Al-Maliki visited Washington informed Menéndez and prominent members of the Senate in late October by President Obama in a letter that Al-Maliki to do more to connect with his opponents and impact resistance.
Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. John McCain, who signed the letter that the United States should return to play an active role in Iraq, but security gains will be lost during the years of fighting the Americans.
Graham said the Senate "we are about to lose everything we have fought for."
After Al-Maliki sent a three-page letter to Menéndez — did not address directly to request helicopters or other military equipment. with the situation in Anbar, Senate aides said that Menéndez received a call on Tuesday from Bill Burns, US Deputy Secretary of State.
The helpers that Burns said lmanndis that the Foreign Ministry is working diligently to provide the guarantees requested by the Committee as a condition for supplying Iraq with helicopters as soon as Congress receives formal notification.
The New York Times first suggested a possible change in the position of Menéndez. The US State Department notified Congress of any weapon sales over a certain limit.
The Foreign Ministry declined to comment on contacts with officials of the Senate. The US spokeswoman Jane bosacki told journalists that "the Administration will certainly equip Iraq with Apache with the nature of the situation on the ground, and clearly this is continuing to work with Congress."
