Wednesday, August 4th 2010 U.S. Administration wishes Maliki to become Iraq's new prime minister
A member of the Iraqi Parliament from the Kurdistan Alliance has announced on Wednesday that the U.S. Administration would like the head of the State of Law (SOL), Nouri al-Maliki, become the prime minister again in order to reduce the Iranian pressures on the Iraqi political parties."The U.S. Administration has planned to shape the new broad-based government among al-Iraqiya list, the SOL and the Kurdistan Alliance, to serve Iraq for four coming years," said Mahmoud Othman.
The U.S. white house delegation landed in Baghdad to deal with the senior leaders of the winning Iraqi political parties regarding the new government formation of Iraq on July 31st in Baghdad.
The U.S. political strategy is quite clear which would not allow Hakim's Iraqi National Alliance (INA) to shape the government, due to its closeness to the Iranian political ideology, Othman noted.
The US government demands Iraq's outgoing Prime Minister, Nuri al-Maliki, to become the next prime minister of Iraq, because it might reduce the Iranian pressures on the current political parties in Iraq, he added.
The US government has planned to distribute the Iraqi State's leading positions, in which the head of al-Iraqiya list, Iyad Allawi, might serve the presidential position, and Maliki might serve the prime minister's position; so if the plan takes place, the Kurdistan Alliance will indicate own attitude towards the proposal, Othman noted.
The Head of Saranj Center for Political Researches, Jutiar Ali, said; "the US government would like to separate the Shiia political fronts from each other and shape the new government among AL-Iraqiya list, the Kurdistan Alliance and the SOL in Iraq."
The current coalition between the SOL and INA will be terminated, if the SOL and al-Iraqiya would reach a mutual agreement regarding the main State positions in Iraq, Ali added.
The US government would like to separate the Shiia parties in the next government formations in Iraq, due to the decrease of the Iranian political ideology on the political circumstance in Iraq, he explained.
The winning Iraqi political parties postponed the parliamentary session for a couple of weeks on July 12, for giving further time to the political parties' negotiation sessions regarding the main State positions in Iraq.
The Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) of Iraq issued the final results of March 7th parliamentary votes, in which Allawi's al-Iraqiya list secured 91 parliamentary seats and Maliki's SOL won 89 seats, as well as INA that won 70 seats and Kurdistan Alliance secured 57 seats.
