Pryor: Iraq improving, but troubles remain

Pryor: Iraq improving, but troubles remain

JON GAMBRELL
Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK - Security in postwar Iraq continues to improve, U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor said Monday, but he acknowledged the country remains "one car bomb away from a terrible day."

The Democrat from Arkansas joined Sens. John Warner, R-Va., Carl Levin, D-Mich., and Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., on the trip to the Middle East. The trip included meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah II and spending Monday in Iraq.

The senators met with Iraq's prime minister, president and vice president, from the country's Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni populations, respectively.

"They are all committed to working together," Pryor said in a telephone interview from Amman, Jordan, with The Associated Press. "It's always pretty good when people want to sit down and talk about their problems, instead of shooting bullets and car bombs at each other."

But outside the halls of governmental power, Iraq remains a dangerous place for both the U.S. military and civilians. More than 50 bodies - most bound and many of them showing signs of torture - were found in Baghdad alone on Sunday, apparent victims of sectarian killings, police said.

To Pryor, progress in Iraq seems made by fits and starts. He said more Iraqi police and armed forced are taking over responsibilities of the U.S. military. But he had concerns over earlier reports of Iraqi policemen and soldiers walking away from their posts.

"It's not perfect," Pryor said. "You can't just overnight hand over control to the Iraqi military because they aren't ready for it."

The senators Monday also traveled to Iraq's al Anbar province, where insurgent forces continue to battle the U.S. military. The province, on Iraq's western border with Saudi Arabia Jordan and Syria, includes the city of Fallujah.

To help the people there, Pryor said the Iraqi government needs to encourage economic development in the troubled province. However, he acknowledged encouraging business growth in a violent area would be difficult.

"You can't just look at the violence and put a Band-Aid on it," Pryor said. "You need to look at the causes."

Pryor said sheiks in the province also have begun organizing opposition against al Qaida.

As more Iraqi police and army forces take to the street, the need for U.S. troops will drop, Pryor said. Once Iraq reaches certain steps on that road alone, he said more American service members can return home. However, some U.S. troops will remain behind in training and advisory positions, he said.

"We don't have any guarantees they will get themselves ready," Pryor said. But "more and more you are seeing the professionalism and backbone of these police officers."

The congressional delegation will travel to Israel before returning to the United States.

I wonder what ELSE they talked about?

U.S. eyes Latin America's help in Iraq, Afghanistan

By Kristin Roberts

Monday, October 2, 2006; 7:02 PM



MANAGUA, Nicaragua (Reuters) - The United States is pressing some Latin American countries to send troops to Afghanistan and Iraq for non-combat missions as the Pentagon struggles to transition those operations from war to reconstruction.

U.S. Gen. John Craddock, who heads the Miami-based U.S. Southern Command, said discussions were under way at a meeting of nearly all the Western Hemisphere's defense ministers on how Latin American experiences might be applicable in both war zones.

Colombia, for example, may send military personnel to Iraq to help secure some infrastructure, such as oil pipelines, Craddock said. Nicaraguan Army Gen. Moises Omar Halleslevens said his country may send a team to Afghanistan to remove mines.

Craddock said Latin American countries "may see a chance to help other countries overcome a problem they have faced in the past."

The move comes as violence in both Afghanistan and Iraq has kept infrastructure improvements in many areas from progressing. Those improvements are seen as vital to bringing the combat phase of operations to an end and returning the countries to some level of relative calm, U.S. military officials say.

They may also be critical to American plans to start bringing troops home, an issue that has garnered much attention in U.S. campaigns before November elections that will determine control of the U.S. Congress.

The help sought from some Latin American countries was cast by defense officials attending the meeting in Nicaragua as an example of strong regional cooperation and recognition that the war against terrorism is a global fight.

"Most of today's threats to our free way of life transcend national boundaries, and they have no respect for national sovereignty," U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told the other defense ministers, according to a copy of his prepared remarks. "Almost every minister here this morning has attested to that fact and it's equally true that because of that, no single nation can cope with these problems alone."

According to Craddock, defense ministers at the closed-door meeting said they believed their countries too were at risk of terrorist attack. The United States discussed in broad terms the ways the region as a whole could reduce threats and cooperate in the area's defense.

Those efforts are all part of Washington's push to maintain leadership and influence in the Western Hemisphere -- a part increasingly challenged by both U.S. foes and other global powers courting Latin American nations, officials and analysts say.

Iran, for example, has built close relationships with both Venezuela and Cuba -- the two Western Hemisphere countries

most hostile to the United States. Russia has become more active in the region too, recently selling $3 billion in weapons to Venezuela, while China offers arms sales and other agreements.

Craddock indicated those types of relationships underscore the need for the United States to spend money on aid and military training. "We want to be in this hemisphere the partner of choice," he said.

We wouldnt want Iraq to get buddy-buddy with the "Bad Guys"
