Iraq Seeks To Cancel Security Agreement With US, Will Invite Russia To Fight ISIS

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Most Iraqis, be they civilians, military personnel, or government officials, do not trust Americans. 

At a base level, that makes all kinds of sense. After all, the US did launch what amounted to a unilateral invasion of the country just a little over a decade ago, and when it was all said and done, a dictator was deposed but it’s not entirely clear that Iraqis are better off for it.

ISIS controls key cities including the Mosul, the country’s second largest, and security is a daily concern for the populace. The Americans are still seen - rightly - as occupiers, and Washington’s unwillingness inability to effectively counter ISIS has created a culture of suspicion in which most Iraqis believe the US is in cahoots with the militants for what WaPo described as “a variety of pernicious reasons that have to do with asserting U.S. control over Iraq, the wider Middle East and, perhaps, its oil.”

Some of the distrust, the US contends, is fostered by Iran. Tehran wields considerable influence both within the Iraqi military and in political circles in Baghdad. When Ash Carter announced that the US was set to send an “expeditionary targeting force” to the country to assist in raids on Islamic State targets, PM Haider al-Abadi flatly rejected the proposal, saying that “Iraq does not need foreign ground combat forces on Iraqi land." Abadi rejected a similar Pentagon trial balloon involving Apaches helicopters last month.

(Abadi)

Meanwhile, Tehran’s Shiite militias threatened to attack any US soldiers operating on Iraqi soil. “We will chase and fight any American force deployed in Iraq. Any such American force will become a primary target for our group. We fought them before and we are ready to resume fighting,” a spokesman for Kata'ib Hezbollah said. Similarly, influential Shiite lawmakers like the infamous Hakim al-Zamili have called on Abadi to seek direct military intervention from Moscow to expel foreign forces from the country.

Now, in the latest example of just how tenuous Washington’s grip on the region has become, the Iraqi parliament's Security and Defense Committee is calling for the review and cancellation of Baghdad’s security agreement with the US. 

“The government and parliament need to review the agreement signed with the United States on security because the United States does not seriously care about its fulfillment,” committee member Hamid al-Mutlaq, a senior Sunni lawmaker told Sputnik on Wednesday. “We demand that it be annulled,” he added. 

Who will fill the void you ask? You guessed it:

 

"Soon, a meeting [of the committee] with Prime Minister Haider Abadi will be held, at which we will propose cooperating with Russia in carrying out airstrikes against IS and in the fight against terrorism in Iraq," another committee member said earlier this week

Recall that this is precisely what we said would happen once we learned in September that Russia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria had set up a joint intelligence sharing cell in Baghdad.

It was clear from the beginning that Tehran saw an opportunity to consolidate its power in Iraq and preserve its influence in Syria by convincing Vladimir Putin that Russia could replace the US as Mid-East superpower puppet master by helping Tehran to defeat the insurgency in Syria and boot the US from Iraq once and for all. Moscow will of course get a warm reception from Iraqi lawmakers thanks to the fact that many MPs are loyal to Iran. 

This makes sense logistically as well. Once the Russians and Iranians have retaken Aleppo (which admittedly is taking a while), they can push east towards Raqqa and from there, move straight across the border, effectively pinching ISIS between an advance from the west and Iran’s Shiite militias already operating in Iraq. Of course that will entail some measure of cooperation with the US, France, Britain, and, once in Iraq, the Peshmerga. It is at that point that Washington’s resolve when it comes to preserving whatever charade is being perpetrated in Raqqa will be put to the ultimate test. 

In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how the US responds to a move by Baghdad to nullify the security agreement.

Washington knows it can land troops in Iraq by simply going through Erbil which is precisely what Turkey did last Friday. The KRG/ Barzani end-around serves to give the troop deployments a kind of quasi-legitimacy. That is, the Kurds control the territory and are self governing, so when Erdogan (and, soon Obama) drop troops in northern Iraq against Baghdad's wishes, they can claim it's not a violation of sovereignty. As we saw over the weekend, Iraqi officials aren't going to stand for it going forward although now that it's become clear that NATO and the Security Council aren't going to be any help (just as we said), Iraq's ambassador to the UN is striking a concilliatory tone, saying Baghdad will try to settle the dispute with Turkey "bilaterally."

It now appears that the stage is set for Baghdad to claim that the US, like Turkey, is illegitimately occupying the country (again). If Iraq nullifies the security agreement and moves to invite the Russians into the country, the US will be forced to either pack up and leave, cooperate with Moscow, or fight for the right to preserve American influence. 

Decisions, decisions.

BREAKING NEWS: Russia has now been caught red handed firing missiles into Syria from ships in the Mediterranean. I'm afraid we may be heading for full-out war with Russia if they do not halt their actions in the middle east immediately. Marco Rubio is one of the few republican candidates to bravely point out that Russia needs to be stopped, and I just hope that Hillary also grasps this as she will be leading the charge in 2016.

Zionists overthrowing govts/leaders began long ago, and many US politicians fell, Lincoln, JFK, RFK, and probably JFK Jr to.  Variation of the invasion of Libya, Iraq, now Syria, Ukraine... Moammar Khadaffi and Saddam Hussein, Assad and the Ukraine govt. It's a global infestation.  Pitiful display of diplomats. 

The US vice president, speaking at the John F. Kennedy Jr Forum at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics, on Thursday told his audience – point blank – that America’s Sunni allies are responsible for funding and arming Al Qaeda-type extremists in Syria.

And he named names: Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, specifically. Others – like Qatar – are undoubtedly complicit too, but Biden’s comments were made off-the-cuff during the question and answer period following his prepared statement.

Of course, much of what Biden said has been suspected for years by Syria watchers, but to acknowledge this outright during the early days of President Barack Obama’s much-vaunted ISIL-busting Coalition – featuring these very same Sunni Arab partners – is a jaw-dropping concession.

But that’s not all. Biden also managed to fundamentally undermine his administration’s efforts to train and arm “moderate” Syrian rebels today, by claiming there is no “moderate middle (in Syria) because the moderate middle are made up of shopkeepers, not soldiers.”

There is no moderate middle in the MidEast because it has been the constant and unwavering policy of the US, Israel, the UK, the KSA, and Soviet Union to hunt down and destroy any and all traces of moderate, secular, modern, progressive (in the now archaic European sense), western-looking socio-political currents, persons, institutions, groups, movements.

Every time someone asks rhetorically where are all the moderates in Insert-Middle-East-Country, the answer is the same: they're in their grave, thanks to your tax dollars. The ones who managed to escape made up the vast majority of all Muslim immigrants to non-MidEast countries in the 20th century. The region is now for all intents and purposes cleansed of the scourge of moderates, the wonder being that it took so incredibly long.

As for the current wave of emigrants, merely the first drops of a brewing and inevitable downpour, they are by and large not actively moderate but simply apathetic and dejected, exactly as are their western counterparts of similar age.

There is no moderate middle shopkeeper because his business was destroyed and he either fled or was killed.

Therefore within a few months the Kenyan guy will be announcing that the elections will be postponed until order is restablished.

Gotta love order out of chaos

The question is whether we get to keep the Kenyan guy or will he be replaced by an 'advisory committee' of colonels appointed to help restore order. The generals have all been tamed but he hasn't reached into the lower levels and can't.

Normalcy bias is strong in all of us and we seriously underestimate what a reset will entail because we've never seen one. Timing is the question as always but it could be as soon as January. My guess.

Congress has been operating outside of "Normal Order" for years now, and the executive branch just awaits the spark to unleash Hell on America! 

Washington being outside of normal order is acceptable for the establishment, but when the people step out of line and vote for an outsider to sit on the oval office, the people will taste what we've been dishing out across the world!  Complete CHAOS!

Iraq's parliament and administration were pretty much stuffed with CIA-approved stooges - the more corrupt and subservient to Western interests, the better. That and the Iraqi military was suppose to ensure ZATO's control for decades. This the U.S. 'enhanced' with shameless bribery and the occasional hit to keep the others in line.

Then there's that damn blowback. Iraqi government lackeys are so pissed at the way the U.S. has screwed everything up that it's created a sort of Arab Spring in the Iraqi government and military against anything U.S.-backed. The military didn't revolt internally - they're too lazy and incompetent for that. They just became completely irrelevant. All military power in Iraq is now with local Shia and Sunni militias. 

"...So one guy is Iraq now?..."

In this case, yes. When the Prime Minister goes off script publicly and want's to kick the U.S.'s ass out of there, then it's far to widespread and popular an opinion inside Iraq for the U.S. to possibly do anything about it now. It's been brewing since Maliki's final days - Iraqis hate the U.S. . They know their country was destroyed for oil and pipelines and they know the U.S. is behind ISIS. They know the U.S. want's Barzani to steal as much Iraqi oil land as possible before declaring independence from Iraq.

The U.S. has managed to be hated so much by the Shia and Sunni in Iraq, that their common hatred has unified them. The U.S. simply replaced Saddam Hussein. Iraqis are still one full-blown war away from freedom.

Here is a sarcastic thought... Remember how Ron Paul wanted to pull out of the MIddle East, and, in fact, out of all of America's foriegn adventures/responsibilities? He promised that America and the world would be safer if we simply retreated to the shores of North America.

Maybe, just maybe, Obama is implementing Ron Paul's strategy, and disguising it as ineptitude and incompetence. Ron Paul would have made the fatal mistake of just packing up and leaving. Obama is making it look like we are getting kicked out! But, hey, the end result is the same, only under Obama, we also get to be the laughingstock and ridiculous clown of the world, AND instead of pulling out to make the world safer, Obama is getting kicked out and making the world a more dangerous place!. Only a real master of the art of foriegn relations and global superpower strategy could take an honorable pull back (the Paul doctrine) and make it look like an ignominous defeat.

It's to bad Obama can't have another four years. Just imagine what he could accomplish!

The strategy was to:

1.) Stop the formation of a comprehensive BRICS foreign exchange agreement.

2.) Stop the demise of the petrodollar.

This was attempted by subverting democracy in the Ukraine and using the opportunity to brutalize the established Russian population in the east, getting their buddy Saudi Arabia to lead the worldwide rout on oil to deprive Russia of their revenue, and fomenting the overthrow of Assad using ISIS, while lying to the American public that it was really the fabled "moderate opposition".

Now that those are backfiring, they are getting Turkey to play pigeon and knock over the chess pieces while shitting on the board.  Invading Iraq (and incidentally tossing babies out of incubators) and shooting down Russian planes.

The awesome part is that this is finally backfiring.

Those all were very aggressive moves.  It is not just Obama, but any other neocon would have also failed, so this fantasy that we weren't being neocon enough should be put to bed.

Some don't believe it because Putin 'black-bagged' some Russian oligarchs (Khodorkovsky etc.), so he MUST be his own man, right? Well, not all oligarchs are ELITES, and even those that are can be sacrificed for the 'common evil' if needed; and in Putin's case, this only helped to make him look good. People forget he took power through the use of his OWN 'false-flag' events in Chechnya, and he has a rather disturbing history of eliminating 'problem' journalists.

But this whole plan existed long before Putin ever took office; hell, it may even be centuries old. But you don't need to go back that far to see the proof of this - just check out this link, the book the Rockefellers put out in the 50's explaining exactly what they planned to do:

http://redefininggod.com/the-rockefeller-plan-for-the-brics-new-world-or...

This shitshow has been planned, right down to the last detail. The proof of it is in the news every day these days.

So, your distrust comes from just general principles and nothing specific. Fair enough, I don't disagree on the principle.

Talking of ex's, I've seen a lot of ex-CIA analysts pop up every now and then who argue passionately against the current Washington regime. Ray McGovern and Simon Black for example seem to be decent chaps. So being ex-KGB is perhaps not the black mark we're led to believe in popular culture. The circus of the cold war, trade craft and the characters who inhabited this sociopathic-morally relative jungle is somewhat fascinating to me, especially the "honest" ones who fought their superiors as much as they fought their enemies.

Might help if you give consideration to some nations desire to remain sovereign and maintain control over their own resources and property and self determination. Oil is not neccessarily at the center of whats going on, its going to be obsolete in less than 50 years anyway.

At this stage being Putin's bitch, as you put it, is definately better. The US has become a rabid dog gone off the reservation, Putin articulates and appears to respect national sovereignty in a peaceful and diverse multipolar world. The USSA still has to undergo the type of cleansing the USSR did before it can rejoin the nations of men.

The irony of your statement is, if you actually read that first link of mine above, you'd understand that the word 'multipolar' is a part of the language of the NWO. Guess what: it's a Trojan horse. That's how they will 'sell' the BRICS: make it seem that they stand for all, when in reality they stand for themselves in CONTROL of all.

How about we ignore the NWO for a bit, as it is much more distant threat than the Israeli-Neocon's 9/11 False Flag coup which we are in the midst of right now?

The wars and the chaos are all intentional.  Look at this :

http://www.voltairenet.org/article188774.html

There is no possibility of peace so long as the Israeli-Neocons are in power, and they can't give up power because they will hang.

9/11 was a False Flag operation by the Israeli-Neocons in the US Government

The subject has been on my mind of late.

My personal favorite:

 

Section III: Defense and Security Cooperation

 

In order to strengthen security and stability in Iraq, and thereby contribute to international peace and stability, and to enhance the ability of the Republic of Iraq to deter all threats against its sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, the Parties shall continue to foster close cooperation concerning defense and security arrangements without prejudice to Iraqi sovereignty over its land, sea, and air territory. Such security and defense cooperation shall be undertaken pursuant to the Agreement Between the U.S.A and the Republic of Iraq on the Withdrawal of U.S. Forces from Iraq and the Organization of Their Activities during Their Temporary Presence In Iraq.

 

Our nation's own language is getting some of our 'leaders' muthaphuckked; the same could be witnessed, for example, with the actions of the Russian military having pursued our false charge against 'terrorism' and, now, questioning our political motives based on our inability (or unwillingness) to effectively handle the ISIS.

This has nothing to do with Iraq making any decision.

This is just bartering on a global scale.

Iraq will not be allowed to "annul" anything UNLESS Putin agrees to withdraw his support of Assad.

Watch and see. If Russia and Iran "get" Iraq, it will only be because the west finally "gets" Syria and the pipeline from Qatar to Europe this whole thing is about.

Makes sense for all parties. Iraq is too Far East for the US to seriously try and bicker with Iran over for decades.

Besides, the west is smart enough to know that Russia and Iran in Iraq means the country WILL degenerate into a Sunni-Shia civil war because the gulf states won't tolerate Iranian and Russian influence that close them.

If this happens, it only happens as a swap of position. Any other scenario WILL NOT be allowed by the West.

What I do see is Iraq terminating the agreement, and Russia getting invloved, but within a number of months, not weeks. The USSA does not have the ability to invade Iraq again, so that's out.
