Evade U.S.
Committed to the "Declaration of Principles", the Iraqi government informed the Security Council at the end of last year's request to extend the mandate of the "multinational force" in Iraq for one last time. In other words, the aim was linked to reach an agreement with Washington before the July 31, 2008 to end Iraq subject to Chapter VII.
But it soon became clear, before the ink dried signing of the "Declaration of Principles", that the U.S. administration's agenda and other purposes inconsistent with the commitment and undertaking by, and consistent with the political plans for Iraq and the interests of American national security. The party's refusal to accept U.S. demands in the security aspect was the Iraqi government intends to include in the letter submitted to the United Nations and as an alternative to previous letters exchanged in this regard between the U.S. government and the governments of Iyad Allawi and Ibrahim al-Jaafari.
It became obvious in the last two weeks that the U.S. administration wants to impose conditions can not be accepted by the Iraqi side, in spite of the weak negotiating position, because it is blatantly inconsistent with the national sovereignty of the country which has become "red line" can not be untouchable after escalating criticism at the popular level, cracks Wall of obfuscation and secrecy and reveal a set of facts in one go.
The retreat in Washington on its pledge to help the Iraqi side exit arrangements from the provisions of Chapter VII means that the U.S. administration wants to use this paper strong pressure in the ongoing negotiations to impose its conditions. Failure to renew Security Council resolution at the end of this year (as usual, automatically, in the past four years) means the non-renewal of immunity to Iraqi funds deposited in the "Development Fund" and make Iraq vulnerable to the demands of creditors to pay the obligations contained therein.
It also became clear that the Bush administration does not want the obligation to provide substantial pledges for Iraq, even as its obligations under the "Declaration of Principles", as this would require the U.S. Congress put forward by the Democratic Party, which enjoys a majority opposition. It is known that the administration repeatedly emphasized, responding to critics, said the agreement with Iraq is not a "treaty", and therefore do not need to be submitted to Congress for approval.
It has become clear that the Bush administration wants to employ a long-standing convention with Iraq to strengthen its position internally, and presented this agreement with the successes achieved in the security of Iraq as a major success for its strategy in Iraq, and invest for the benefit of the presidential candidate for the Republicans, John McCain, in the forthcoming presidential elections in October II (November) 2008.
