    The sad fact is that the Dem's will only use Iraq to win the vote. Then they will face the harsh reality, that they already know, that we can't pull out and run. They will instead insist that we have to stay because of what GW started and use that to get the WH in 08. I hope I am wrong but the tea leaves are there.

    Ammar al-Hakim is a political problem between Kuwait and Iraq, but

    (Voice of Iraq) - 07-10-2006 | This issue was sent to a friend

    Ammar al-Hakim told "Public Opinion» : There is a political problem between Kuwait and Iraq, but the entire border on the conservation and provide better opportunities for security

    Interviewed by Reem Almea : The Secretary General of the martyr inner sanctuary in Iraq, Mr. Ammar Hakim, that the issue of security is an integral part, The security of Iraq will contribute to stability and security in the region, and any disturbance in the Iraqi security issue will raise and repercussions on the region.
    The Hakim told "Public Opinion» that developments in the political process would be in consultation with officials in Kuwait. From this perspective view that his visit to Kuwait and the opportunity to continue to study the matter and the Iraqi public is common.
    Al-Hakim to be a political problem between Kuwait and Iraq. but a full peace between the two governments on the border and to provide the best opportunities for both sides of the border security, describing what happens excesses as a result of the smuggling rings, which may not be in Iraq alone, it could have ramifications inside Kuwait.
    Hakim does not believe that Iraq is a candidate for civil wars, surprising some assessments which are believed to stem from an unrealistic assessment in respect of Iraq.
    The following is the text of the interview :
    • To begin your visit to Kuwait is the most prominent objectives and the files that will be?
    - In fact, this visit comes in the framework of Ramadan communicate with the government and people of Kuwait. a year old was keen on Mr. Hakim and sustain them after his death is also an important opportunity to discuss the Iraqi issue and Kuwaiti officials on the latest developments and changes in the Iraqi scene of the fact that Kuwait is a key to what is happening inside Iraq.
    The problem of security is indivisible. Iraq's security will contribute to the stability and security of the region and any disturbance in the Iraqi security issue will raise much of the region has also, there are important developments in the political process by consulting with our officials in Kuwait is also an opportunity for contact with the different social strata to discuss public affairs and the Iraqi joint matters, We believe that Kuwait has always been the most understanding and sympathy and interaction with the Iraqi people and he has been wronged, whether in flight before the fall of the previous regime or during the fall or in the stage of building the political process and democracy in Iraq. This visit comes within the framework of this atmosphere.
    • Do discuss the recent border crisis?
    - What is important in our assessment of these events that half of the situation as it is, in the past, there was a political crisis between the two countries and there is an Iraqi government adopts aggression against Kuwait, as happened during the era of Saddam, But today there is no political problem, On the contrary, there is a full peace between the two governments on the border and to provide the best opportunities for both sides of the border security what is happening today is the smuggling gangs, or the like profiteering from penetrations certain border When control the border and there are precautionary measures and the affected interests such riots and the gang may not be in Iraq alone, extensions may be inside Kuwait, the less focus, but we must understand the issue, that there was an agreement between the two governments to prosecute such groups and full control of the border, I believe that the confusion glitch that happened in the recent period is further evidence of the extent of the cooperation and coordination between the two governments have noted that quickly initiated governments to condemn and denounce such attacks and working hard to make a decision to work together to provide security at the border and there is nothing worry about in this area.
    • What hinders federalism and the draft led to the fall?
    - There is no retreat, It is well known that the Constitution guaranteed the right to form regions of the Iraqi people in all locations and charged the law was adopted to discuss mechanisms for the formation of the Territory to the House of Representatives effective, that this law will be adopted within six months and six months has not expired.
    This law moves in the directions correctly, it was the first reading and will be the second reading, As for the implementation of the Territories on the ground and formed This issue was the request of some parliamentary blocs to freeze for 18 months a year and a half until the mature political process and get enough culture of the citizens in this regard, This was also agreed upon by all circles, but that does not mean that we are ready and continue to prepare for the formation of regions. The formation of the Territory and the culture needs to be clear to the people and know the details, The need to prepare cadres appropriate and capable of administering the territory wide powers, So we are facing a long and preparations and preparations many, As for the size of the territory and the time of formation of this issue is linked himself and his people when they wanted to crafters size that they want. could be conservative and one or more according to the Constitution, But what we are proposing for the sons of the center and south to the territory of the unified nine provinces in the south of Baghdad. Central Euphrates provinces and southern Iraq and believe that this is appropriate to the nature of culture, history and the past, present and future aspirations of the East these areas, It remains the option to choose the people in these areas, or in other regions including the size of the territory, but we believe at the same time emphasize that this region does not come on sectarian basis, as do some or suggests that it is the territory on the basis of administrative geographical meant to regulate the management process in the country.
    • Do you believe that the division of the Shiite ranks hampered by the federal and your role in the unification of the ranks?
    - First, we have to assure that the issue of federalism is not a Shiite is, as I said on the basis of geographical and administrative leaves have good and achieve real opportunities for the participation of all Iraqis in all their positions, and all their affiliations is not a case of a Shiite, the issue is the Iraqi public.
    As for the diversity of opinions within the Shiite ranks and Shiite, It is well known that the seven coalition forces assembled on the health of federalism and the adoption of a method for the management of the country, but they differ in the timing, There Sadri trend which is most likely to form a minority following the withdrawal of foreign forces or in the size of the minority as brothers in Al »Virtue made it probable formation regions in each of the governorates and the remainder of these or other ideas could be presented to the people of all states Fuad choose, and the option of first and foremost for the Iraqi people, which is Allah Tarr timing which chooses the size of the territory, and I do not think that there may be something convincing this is a healthy phenomenon of multiple views and perceptions in any of the cases and multiple options remain for the people, it is known that Iraq had lived period of dictatorship and tyranny and one-party government and the commander necessary, But today we are facing a new scene several views and perceptions of that, we do not feel concerned by the many proposals in any of the cases, but as a healthy phenomenon gives mobility in the social reality and put people in front of several options to choose what they find most appropriate to their interests.
    • Is Ekelkkm be turned into a new landscape of civil wars?
    - We do not see Iraq a candidate for civil war because the religious leaders, political leaders and the general public's awareness and the nature of intertwined interests and the close interrelationship between the Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq, through social relations and through marriages, which are often in these trends may be husband and wife Shiite Sunni or vice versa, etc., All these indicators do not indicate that we are getting closer to a civil war and surprised by some of these subdivisions and we believe that it stems from an unrealistic assessment on Iraq.
    • with the increasing American pressure on Iran, you can see how the regional scene?
    - Iraq's new country seeking to regain its natural role and good relations with everyone in the regional and international situation, and the United States one of the task in the world and there are common interests between the United States and Iraq, other, In the United regional and international relations start of each State to assess its own interests and to lay the foundations of the relationship on the basis of the interests of Iraq, the build relations of friendship and good relations with the United States on such grounds at the same time build good relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran as one of the biggest neighboring countries, a the Iraqis or other countries in the region. and the same background Iraq feels that there is a vested interest in opening up to all countries including Iran dear and build relations of friendship ties with Iran and other Arab states and other countries of the region, we believe that it must be between our fragment as Iraqis and the nature of relations between required and the problems that might be among the other states in between But we know that the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, there are problems between them. It is true that address these problems and we believe that Iraq should be separate from these things it is in the interest of Iraq build good relations with all its neighbors, including Iran. It is in the interest of Iraq build good relations with big countries, including the United States, the work is on this basis, Such good relations help to ease the tension or the solution of other problems, We noted that the Iraqi government had a positive role in the pressure on the United States regarding the Lebanese issue, and even in the Iranian file initiatives are called for the Iraqi direct dialogue between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran to solve the problems in regard to Iraq, at least to spare Iraq any problems, This may lead to the solution of the nuclear problem and other pending problems between the two countries. we want Iraq to live in peace and that peace comes to its neighbors and the countries of the region and the world and the international community in general, the vision of our foreign policy and there is great interest and was widely within Iraq for such a balanced policy, acceptance and popular support and backing of such steps.
    There is no doubt that the United States make regional relations interdependent and interrelated with one another as I talk, can we look at the tension in any of the countries of the region separately, to the reality of other countries, any tension in the region will raise for everyone and not only Iraq but the entire region, It is the right of countries of the region that is concerned at the escalation of the Islamic Republic of Iran by the United States and the West on the nuclear file, because the consequences and repercussions and the effects will not be confined within the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran, but would be extended to the entire region.
    • As I mentioned earlier that Iraq had a role in the Lebanese file in the light of listening to the file, how do you see the future of Lebanon and Hezbollah specifically?
    - We wait for the following carefully what is happening in Lebanon, we felt great regret of the aggression suffered by the Lebanon-Aziz, brother, It is well known that there are historical relations between Lebanon and Iraq continue cultural and political, economic, and at all levels, what a sad and saddened when subjected to any internal political enticements Valtjazbat in Lebanon, we are following it up with concern and hope that the political forces and actors to the rules and formulas that would ease the pressure that the vision can convince everyone and everyone feels an active and constructive participation, Perhaps the experience that we have undertaken in Iraq and left from the effects of multiple components, as bishop claims make us more understanding is also some of the fears in the Lebanese arena, the role and presence, etc., We hope that Lebanon up to rules that would address problems and develop a full and comprehensive feel everyone to participate. For our part, and as it is known, our brothers in the Accord Front acquired 16% of the votes, but the sites that have been given to them today in the Iraqi government equivalent to 33% under the chairmanship of the House and the Vice-President of the Republic, Deputy Prime Minister and the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Planning and the Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Culture, It is important locations and sovereign provided them dear so that everyone participating in the government of national unity in which all real, In any case, these experiences can be seen and others assess the success and the possibility of applying the test again feel everyone to participate, while everyone feels that the participant is certainly heading in supporting the political project by providing real opportunities for all and to the security and stability of all countries of the region.
    • announcing the death of the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq Aboayob said. Does this kill off Aattakadk, that happened, and will contribute to improving the security situation?
    Commander-certainly always have a role in the organization of grades and packaging, We noted after the killing of Zarqawi apparent decrease in the capacity of Al-Qaeda »and, of course, the work does not stop because there are certainly other elements and replaced this to another person, But Aboayob Egyptian Al-Zarqawi was weaker than in the grasp of threads and dominating the rules, especially in the case of decentralized live like Al-Qaeda »needs to be some time until proven merit and proves the efficiency and dominated. Therefore, Aboayob did not take sufficient time to reach those levels, Today arrested and the other may be closer to the noose and targeting of Aboayob, There is a huge amount of information started to arrive in the security establishment and accumulate this information, Today chances of cracking the security establishment of this government totals become much more of the past and you hear every day that there are dozens. not to say sometimes hundreds of leaders and actors in the "Al-Qaeda» be arrested or targets inside Iraq, What we see today in front of better opportunities to control the security situation.
    • What do you mean? Does that most of their affiliations known terrorists?
    - Known that the exercise of terrorism today in Iraq are the two main features : Tkverion the one hand, any Al-Qaeda »and far, On the other side are Sadamion, Saddam supporters who have been affected by his absence, They are organized and have the experience and ability of military and Aattakadih, regulatory, There is therefore a meaningful cooperation between the two groups are the main pillars for terrorist operations inside Iraq.
    • always described Syria as a portal entry of infiltrators into Iraq, the pain situation improves in the current period?
    Yes-there is evolution, but we hear from security officials in Iraq, problems still exist certain level and the need to develop, I pointed out that we in the newborn for the eradication of terrorism will need to internal political and regional.
    • Does that mean things graduated or exceeded the government's control?
    - No, I do not mean that things out of control, but I mean the political will of all political factions within Iraq, there opponents did not get them enough conviction or resolution necessary to engage in the political process in full.
    • Is the coalition forces demanding greater efforts in this area?
    - Of course, the multinational forces are invited for further work and it will bear the responsibility for the security situation by the nature of its presence on the Iraqi arena.
    Generally, as I said the security issue is still associated in one way or another the existence of these forces, which bears responsibility in this regard, But I believe that the Iraqi security whenever given a greater role and more equipped with weapons and expertise and proper training were gradually able to fill the blanks and to have the ability to restore security.
    If the political will decrease those which will make all political parties put their "full and efforts for the success of the political process, not to match that to have a man step in the political process and the other man on the other side, The remaining gamble on both sides that have succeeded in the political process, understand the participants, and again I failed, aborted participants are on the other side and this is not something that is true and acceptable sometimes listening to leaks and official statements of Iraqi views or views of the multinational force by the President parliamentary bloc if it appears that the head of the protection is one of the active member of Al-Qaeda »and plans to introduce several Mfajkhat to logic e green and detonate, when the head of the parliamentary bloc in the atmosphere that live, and so what is said and we hear from time to time, This, of course, reveals that there is no real will there still fluctuating between entry in the political process and to stand with the rebels, This is not acceptable to the success of the operation and the need for political will and we need to internal regional political will. Many in Iraq believe that the Arab countries were still in a position to provide more than provided for the attribution of the political process. We are today not to find a diplomatic representation in the course of the Arab States in Iraq, Since there are high levels of representation of the European countries and Western Were these minor concern for their security? Is that our Arab brothers more conservative than these? not so, we find that the Arab diplomatic representation in positions of the most heated of Iraq and the Iraqi government, despite their commitments to provide adequate security t the diplomatic corps, but we are up to this moment we do not find such representation, sometimes due to different political and hesitation in supporting the political process, even on the level visits whenever we find an Arab official to visit Iraq with officials find from different regions of the world, forging an ongoing basis and at all levels, Even presidents of this issue can not justify all of the backgrounds of security and the misgivings of security because there are opportunities to provide better security.
    • What role of the Arab League?
    - Of course the Arab League in the last period had positive roles, We also know that there are representatives of the Arab League in Iraq today, This means that there are sophisticated and there is more understanding of the past, but the case did not belong to the Arab League, but also belonging to the Arab countries linked with Iraq and Iraq is linked by many interests and real, We need to strengthen these relations and consolidation of our Arab brothers, we hope that they have a greater role in supporting the political process to put pressure on terrorism and the control of the security situation and we are happy to find Arab initiatives in the recent period talking about the desire clearer than in the past to assign the political process in Iraq.
    • finish of Kuwait, is directed Let him of Kuwaiti officials to visit Iraq and how the response?
    - Each time at each visit usually offer such suggestions visit and pledge to officials in Kuwait and other countries to provide them with security acceptable heading while preparing to study such proposals and hope that the school early may be three and a half years, enough time for such a study and make a decision to visit Iraq.
