Iraq forces talks reach 'dead end' - 0 views

  • But given that there is little consensus in Baghdad over the treaty, Iraqi leaders may simply decide to push for an extension of the UN mandate, however imperfect it may be.
  • “If the Iraqi and the American side can’t reach an agreement, then they have to think of extending the mandate for six months or a year,” said Mahmoud Othman, an independent Kurdish parliamentarian.

America and the Future of Iraq - WSJ.com - 0 views

  • The institutions that make your civil society so strong—such as universities, legal and judicial societies, and medical centers—should be integral to the new foundation of U.S.-Iraq relations. Contacts must take place across the broadest possible range of U.S. and Iraqi institutions.
  • Those outsiders who seek conflict with Iran or who wish to bind Iraq to the unstable military dictatorships, corrupt oligarchies and despotic monarchies of the region will find no support here.
  • In the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, passed overwhelmingly by Congress and signed by President Clinton, the U.S. committed itself to the forcible liberation of an oppressed people and to assistance in the formation of a new government. That mission has been fulfilled to the everlasting credit of the American people and with the gratitude of Iraqis. Now, as President Obama has stated, it is up to the Iraqi people. All we ask is the opportunity to move forward on our own as we see fit.
