"In the latest analysis of U.S. under the heading," withdrawal of U.S. forces presents Iraq for a potential crisis, "noted Foundation (Oxford Analytica) of analysis and international consultancy to renewed discussions on the subject.
The analysis noted that translated and published by news agencies, "The United States decided to maintain its military presence in Iraq after 2011." Observers believe Iraqis that this information is "critical" that have ratified, as the United States obliged to withdraw completely from Iraq by end of year.
The analysis that "the main question is whether the survival of U.S. military force small in Iraq sufficient to support the Iraqi security forces improve in the event of a major escalation else in the violence."
Three of the prominent members of the Senate posed questions similar to the pages of newspaper (Washington Post), where the article criticized the joint reports of the proposal the White House to keep the power of not more than three thousand men in Iraq after the end of 2011, despite denials from officials in the administration of President Barack Obama to take any decision in this regard, with the exception of the National Alliance, the recommendations of the members in the Republican Party to "the dream is not verifiable." But the analysis (Oxford Analytica) describes the proposal as a "trial balloon" Mtkhna that the number of force that may be the White House wants to keep it is closer to ten thousand U.S. troops.
He considered that the determination of final figure involves the difficulty of is little or no enough space in the future to increase in the event of a crisis. The analysis pointed to the ability shown by the Iraqi security forces in dealing with security tasks daily, adding that it "will have difficulty in dealing with a major upsurge in attacks."
The analysis that Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has come through the development of the final decision on the Agreement (SOFA) in the hands of the parliament to "a suitable political solution." In respect of any new security agreement, it envisages the analysis will be limited to the presence of U.S. military small-scale and limited tasks. Among the most prominent of these tasks: "training, equipping and advising Iraqi security forces and maintain a small presence in the major hot spots such as areas in dispute, and the limited operations to combat terrorism and share intelligence and security support to the U.S. Embassy.
