on the candidates .. do not prefer certain people
A senior U.S. official : No U.S. plan .. there is no secret plan . We have no influence on the candidates .. do not prefer certain people
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden the U.S. to Iraq on Saturday, amid serious tensions in the wake of the elections held in March did not produce a clear winner in addition to not forming a new government so far
The failure to agree on forming a new government until the next four months after the elections and the continuing attacks by insurgents to provoke questions about the U.S. plans to end combat operations next month before the withdrawal next year.
Is expected to hold Biden, who was appointed by President Barack Obama to follow up the Iraqi affairs to Washington, talks with Iraqi leaders, including Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and former prime minister Iyad Allawi's list won the largest number of seats in parliament.
He said Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh "the United States the most concern and the least interference in the Iraqi issue."
He said al-Dabbagh told Reuters: "She wants to provide advice , but its impact in solving the problem will be limited."
Biden, played down the concern of the United States, saying that the lengthy talks to form a governing coalition is common everywhere, as happened in the Netherlands, U.S. officials said they were not in Iraq to pressure the leaders.
A senior administration official traveling with Biden told reporters: "Let me be very clear .. there is no American plan .. there is no secret plan. We have no influence on the candidates .. do not prefer certain people ... This goes back to Iraqis."
The last time Biden has visited Iraq before the March election shortly, when controversy erupted over attempts to ban the participation of politicians, Shiite candidates, most of the year claiming the existence of relations between them and the outlawed Baath party.
The Iraqis hope that the elections lead to stability and economic recovery, seven years after US-led invasion of Iraq to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and sparked a bitter war between Sunnis and Shiites.
The decrease in violence in Iraq in general sharply after it had reached its peak in 2006 and 2007, but the Sunni insurgent attacks continue almost daily.
Instead of the election in Iraq on the path towards greater security and progress followed the election four months of political uncertainty after the election ended without a clear winner did not reach the parties to the Iraqi political process to agree on forming a new government.
Sunni insurgents sought by the relevant al-Qaeda to exploit the political vacuum through suicide bombings and killings.
And occupied a non-sectarian bloc headed by Allawi, first place in the election by two seats for Maliki's bloc with strong support from Sunnis, who look to Allawi, a secular Shi'ite, as a strong man capable of defending their rights.
But it is expected to lead an alliance between Shiite blocs and with the mass of the rule of law led to the defeat of al-Maliki -led Iraqi Allawi's bloc in the competition, to win the majority needed to form a coalition government.
Osama al- Nujaifi prominent Sunni member of the Iraqi list "We want to solve the problems Iraqis. The issue of government formation is done through Iraqi factions and within the constitutional framework and the resulting election, with an emphasis on the benefit of Iraq."
The Nujaifi in a telephone interview, "other endeavors, whether the Americans or any other party be within the framework of advice and should not be the engine of a compass to negotiate and alliances."
It is possible to respond to the year violent reaction if it did not become prime minister, Allawi, which could embolden the insurgency wounded but still deadly.
Any increase in violence to put pressure on the Obama administration to slow withdrawal from Iraq and redeploy troops and resources in Afghanistan where the Taliban step up their insurgency.
U.S. officials said that their military plans are not linked to form a new government in Iraq. The official said Biden, who is accompanied by "the nature of our intervention change. At a time when shrinking our military are increasing our diplomatic, political and economic."
