New Agreement Provides No Solace for Iraqis

For more than a year, the occupation planners, Americans and Iraqis, will advertise for an agreement called the Long Term Mutual Security Agreement with the American occupation.

Since the two sides signed the preface for this agreement on Nov. 26, the advertising and promotion campaigns are constantly increasing. Both are trying to brainwash the Iraqi and regional viewers with media clamor and obscure statements about the virtue of this agreement, its first accomplishment is the U.S. raid from the Iraqi lands on Albo Kamal area in Syria. Fallowed by the misleading statements from the Iraqi government and its speakers until Nov. 16, when the Iraqi government announced the approval of this agreement in an exceptional session with unanimity challenging with impunity the broad refusal in Iraq and the region.

A quick review for what has been published of this agreement emphasize that the disadvantages of this agreement are more than the capacity of a single article. We notice the danger in legalizing the occupation and accepting it to make it a powerful element and converting it from an impostor entity into a legalized form. In addition, the resistance becomes rebels and insurgents and should be battled to eliminate resistance and its spirit. This will provide the thieves, murderers and occupants, on a plate of the Iraqis’ servility, a remission of debts and responsibility in addition to what is provided to the local and international criminals as a non negotiable special amnesty, and convicting the victims too. This will arrange the excuses, regrets and penitence to what the resistance has done.

The published portion of the agreement with all the gilding in it is a real danger to Iraq and its unity, sovereignty, resources and interests. This is a denial of the sacrifices of the Iraqi people, a cover for the crimes of the occupants.

If the small published portion has this gravity then this means that the unpublished is more dangerous. What is the unpublished? I think we can conclude them from the occupying American threats and warnings in the past and present.

Example: Secretary of Defense Robert Gates’s refusal to any adjustments on the security agreement, even if they were simple and ineffective. Also, the security threats by the Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, if the agreement wasn’t approved.

We all remember the shameful accusations from the commanding General in Iraq. Ray Odierno said that the Iraqi parliament members take bribes from Iran to accomplish an Iranian goal and hamper the agreement.

If we review all these notes then we will conclude the following:

How will the occupation forces withdraw from Iraq in 2011 with the government request and they refuse adjusting the agreement even with simple ineffective sections?

What are the security consciences awaiting the Iraqi people if they didn’t approve on the agreement?

Are there any surprises left from the Israeli-American occupation for us? Any more suffering to the Iraqi people that not used on them before?

As for accusing the parliament members of taking bribes, I think that Ray Odierno is counting on the weak memory of the Arabic and Iraqi people to convert the briber from American entity to an Iranian one. We remind the reader of a Fox News report declaring that every parliament member agreeing on the security agreement will receive $3 million.

All the lies, blackmails and threats from the occupation leaders explain the difficulty of the negotiations, claims to leave Iraq under article seven and the lie of withdrawal by the Iraqi government’s request in 2011.

The summary of this miserable drama is the U.S. wants eagerly to accomplish the agreement. This might give some dignity to the useless Bush in the last moments of his presidency, locally and internationally, especially after the new polls. A poll from CNN in on Oct. 21 about the Bush administration’s politics in Iraq revealed that 75 percent of Americans are angry, afraid and unsatisfied with Bush.

There is no solace for the Iraqi people. Their government says, “Oppose as much as you want, and let’s sign as they want.”
