State of Law: Washington’s concern for Iraq’s security is a lie

Member of the State of Law Coalition Ahmed Al-Sudani described, on Wednesday, the keenness of the American combat forces on Iraq’s security as a lie.

Al-Sudani said in a statement to /Al-Maalouma/ Agency, that “we reject any long-term presence of American forces in Iraq,” indicating that “the presence of these combat forces violates the parliament’s decision to expel them.”

He added that “foreign forces cannot continue to be present inside Iraq, especially since the previous parliament had its say and voted to expel them,” explaining that “there is a popular and political rejection of the presence of any foreign forces on Iraqi territory, most notably the American military presence.”

He added that “Washington’s talk about its keenness on Iraq’s security is a big lie and its efforts were aimed at keeping the country weak and within the range of crises, most of which are of its own making,” noting that “the expulsion of American forces is an important option that cannot be reversed.”

Most Iraqi political forces issued their support for the prime minister regarding the steps to expel American forces from Iraq after a series of attacks against Iraqi security forces.
