Mr. Prime Minister: I do not have any kind of investment and money abroad, I nor my family members, and the media is open to introduce any evidence from him on any investment.
Al-Hayat: We start from the security that is a source of concern after the end of combat missions to U.S. forces.
Do you have an accurate criterion for measuring the readiness of security forces?
Prime Minister: standard is to maintain internal security and stability and prevent insurgency or isolation of certain areas as it was in previous years, where the «base» or other hijacked whole cities and wreak havoc without one can even military forces to enter.
This period has expired there is no longer one inch in Iraq outside the control of the government and the legitimate authorities.
With regard to securing our borders For despite the significant progress that has occurred at the level of development of the army and border troops the equipment and the necessary equipment, we still need more, especially at the level of air force and navy in order to compare the what it neighboring countries, we must assume the responsibility of defending our country ourselves and I think that the departure of U.S. troops will be final in late 2011, will be an added incentive for us and for the remaining U.S. forces for training and support in order to quicken the pace of work to get to the threshold required the shortest possible period.
And other standard I have the evolution of professional security services and the growing experience, maintenance of the terrorist networks and a map of terrorism with a more coherent national and rejected the logic of sectarian militias and gangs.
Al-Hayat: Some talk about the latest breakthrough in terms of your decision to refer officers to trial on the background of the incident volunteers to the army?
Prime Minister: does not mean our audit of some officials in the organization that breakthrough, but may be vulnerable or lack of interest or a slowdown in the implementation of the orders and activation of information security, and the penalty is acquired with a hack.
Al-Hayat: But there was talk that the Department of Homeland Security had reported the incident before it happens, however has not been redressed?
Mr. Prime Minister: It is true that the Security Department was informed, and the higher authorities worked to avoid the incident, but the default has occurred in ensuring that its occurrence.
There are breaches in some locations and individuals, but this does not mean the description of the military and security that they infiltrated, if it was behind this development and improvement of security that has occurred over the past years?
Still suffer from the deficiencies and weaknesses and perhaps even some breakthroughs in our military and security, and this is natural in the development of Iraq, where the devices were built hastily under extraordinary circumstances, interfere with the professional aspect to the political, sectarian, partisan and otherwise.
But the efforts of the institution and part of a reconciliation violations narrowed to its lowest level.
Daily life: always you show comparisons between the 2006 and the case today to prove security developments, but the reality is that since the year 2008 decreased levels of violence, before rising again, what causes this situation?
Mr. Prime Minister: this is true, we could not complete the «rule» and collaborators yet, and the war continued with them until they are destroyed, to remove the menace from the country.
We have dealt them severe blows in recent times particularly during the period that followed the elections with the destruction of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri and a large number of important capital base and are needed to prove their existence and restore some morale to the Remnants.

They have criminal operations through the selection of easy targets in the markets and streets and communities.
It also helped the political debate raging between the blocks and the accompanying tension in society and different atmosphere, to do their jobs terrorist attacks.
More importantly, the desperate internal and external parties at this particular time to influence the political process in the country, reflected in turn on the security side.
What I can say in spite of all that we have passed the stage of lawlessness and return to them, but the challenges still ahead are great, and I confirm that to admit the possibility for some of the penetration does not mean the decline or collapse of the security situation, especially since it could happen even in countries more stable us.
Al-Hayat: You mentioned that you are militias fought strongly in the past, do you have fears that Iqsaek at the political level could allow the return of the militias and the resumption of civil war?
Mr. Prime Minister: I turned the steps we have taken, especially in the area of defeating the militias and terrorist groups and outlaws and the extension of state control and law enforcement, to the general culture and popular movement is difficult to circumvent it or to exclude him.
Cred praised the great list of the rule of law both in the provincial elections or the recent elections, despite all the circumstances, indicated in the form of definitive broad public support for this approach, which we are involved in it, and the election was a popular vote in the interest of these parameters we have adopted in reject sectarianism and militias and bear arms, however, the State.

For this process are not afraid of the exclusion, as their toxicity, because the exclusion of persons is not growing popularity of the currents.
However, do not hide our concern over the attempt by some to work across the line-up next to return Iraq to the paths of past and trenches of civil war and lawlessness, and the control of gangs and the influence of militias, and this is what will stand in the face will not allow it in any way, and in any location needed to be addressed will be ready to do so .
Al-Hayat: Do you think that the danger of dividing Iraq remains. There are warnings from U.S. conflicts expected after the withdrawal?
Mr. Prime Minister: I think we've crossed this stage, all Iraqis demonstrated their determination to co-exist within a unified Iraq.
No one wants to partition now and does not fear the outbreak of conflicts in disputed areas. The Constitution set the tone for resolving disputes, and calls for all applications, not the constitutionality of secret deals, as some like to accuse others of.
Al-Hayat: Stresses in your conversations you are seeking to build an army and security forces are eligible, what obstacles they faced in the past and expect to face any future President of the Government in this regard?
Mr. Prime Minister: can not ensure the independence of the country and protection without a strong army and military forces up to the challenges facing the country, have always stressed that we want a strong army can protect the country and not an army of aggression and assaults on neighboring countries.
The Iraqi people understand this very well and is supported strongly.
Can not negate the concerns of internal and external to build such a force, and fears associated with the former regime on the use of military missions oppressive internal pushing the army and military forces in confrontations with people and against people from the far country to the fullest.
Fears of Foreign Affairs also linked to aggressive behavior and aggressive practice of the former regime by attacking Iran or the invasion of Kuwait or threats to the region as a whole, may still be a memory region burdened with this background.
In any case, we do not need to continue to build our military to secure the defensive missions, and not offensive.
Defensive behavior abroad and the protector and guardian of the people at home is the way to dispel fears and remove all obstacles that prevent the building of our forces.
I think we've come quite a bit in this area, but still we have things that require more work.
What we will do in addition to the Army on these tasks is our direction to solve all our problems with its neighbors through dialogue and diplomacy and common interests, mutual recognition and ensure non-interference, which will reassure our brothers and friends in neighboring countries and the world, and is a necessary prelude for an end to Iraq under Chapter VII in mind the backgrounds of security challenges.
Daily life: a journalist who listened to the conflicting statements of the leaders of the security in Iraq concerning the evaluation of the security situation, do you suffer personally from this inconsistency, how do you interpret this? How do you deal with him?
Mr. Prime Minister: is conflicting and inaccurate information and not a reflection of an imbalance in the organization.
Space of freedom shall be issued a permit varies with time, but not in the military.
Al-Hayat: Do you think that the leak of suicide bombers from abroad is still going on at the same pace?
Mr. Prime Minister: no longer the infiltration of terrorists as it was, because the development of the situation and the safety of direction had sent letters «Tiiis» For those who were lenient with the process of infiltration.
Daily life: in the side of political talk is about you did receive support U.S. and Iranian at the same time to renew your term.
If so, how can meet Almtdhadan?
Mr. Prime Minister: I would like to make it clear in the answer to this question points.
We are fully aware of the importance of good relations with all countries, especially neighboring countries, so we will not spare no effort to build better relations with our regional and international levels.
But on the other hand, we are fully aware that no State can be a substitute for the Iraqis to take responsibility for choosing the leadership of their country.
If any country tried to do this role, it will create for themselves and us more trouble.
We have built our political from the outset on the need to keep our decision independent of whether in government or in the list of the rule of law, and this became a regular feature of the list during the election campaign Kdnaha from the inside and through the address voters directly and in different provinces or after the elections, so I preferred not to meet any invitation to visit some countries in order not to give this impression.
If he agreed that the vision of two Mtkhasamtin on the situation in Iraq, this is a positive point, and there is a possibility to meet the visions under the wise policy of independence and is keen to deal positively.
Al-Hayat: It was said that you have provided commitments to Tehran in the event of your election, the validity of that?
Prime Minister: I work for good relations with all nations, including Iran, but not on the basis of pledges and the like, but on the basis of equality and common interests and good neighborly relations and non-interference in domestic affairs.
These rumors are part of the war and political propaganda for which there are usually in an atmosphere of negotiation.
Al-Hayat: The leaks also say that in your list of related parties of lists of other alternative would you choose, you have received a request internally to undo the nomination?
Mr. Prime Minister: These leaks are part of attempts to weaken the menu.
Everyone knows that «the rule of law is the list the most coherent for several reasons, including the lists to be more independent in its decision and stress factors is very limited, whether locally or externally, in addition to the consistency and approach and adopt a program and clear.In relation to requests from within the list, it appears that these leaks that you talked about working in the form of the opposite, with increased adherence to existing Bmarchaa. Never asked for a list of a list of other change candidate.
The right not to elect this candidate or that if they do not have the competence or for any other reason and thus lose the competition without the need for the imposition and rejection and so on. For your information two days ago confirmed that «the rule of law» unanimous adherence Bmarchaa.
Al-Hayat: But all the Iraqi parties apparently betting on a split of their opponents and Fthm ...
Mr. Prime Minister: For us at the very least, do not think so because the process of dialogue and negotiation as well as to reach an agreement with the large blocks of uniform be easier and faster to negotiate with the blocks scattered small, and by Ktltna will remain a leader in its unity and cohesion.
Al-Hayat: You said that all the political parties are responsible for the political stalemate and you are part of the responsibility, what kind of concessions that Tantzerunha, what is a waiver you are ready for submission?
