星期四， 2008年7月10日
由 帕特里克Cockburn在巴格達 | 當他們丟失他們的免疫到伊拉克法律根據一個新的協議在美國和伊拉克之間時，伊拉克三軍部隊可能瞄準寬被恨的美國安全承包商。 ? 主要美國讓步，在長時期的和仇恨的交涉期間在將確定美國和伊拉克之間的未來軍事關係力量協議(沙發)的狀況，是同意撤消154,000個承包商至此享用的豁免， 35,000是私有警衛。 「伊拉克軍隊將跟隨他們以強健，因為他們不是普遍的在伊拉克」，說Ahmed Chalabi，退伍軍人伊拉克政客，在與獨立的一次採訪。 「人們未忘掉由私有警衛在Nisour廣場殺害的伊拉克人」。 當他們在正方形在西部巴格達去年，開火在9月16日安全人員從Blackwater美國被指責殺害17伊拉克平民，包括母親和孩子。 免疫結尾在伊拉克將有嚴重後果為142,000個美國軍隊，是高度倚賴於承包商。 chalabi先生說它是可能的伊拉克安全部隊和司法制度將出去他們的方式拘捕到目前為止違反伊拉克法律，他們嘲笑的外國證券人。 他也說美國承包商免疫損失將使美國情報交換行動更加困難，因為私人公司用於維護鏈接與在伊拉克根據的伊朗政權的對手，著名地Mojahedin-e Khalq。 這使美國政府否認它有聯絡與這樣小組。 chalabi先生，從伊朗最近回來他有與伊朗領導的談話，說： 「伊朗難寬恕地被反對成交。 它這裡奉獻美國的巨型的存在并且威脅他們的安全。 他們說這將是`非安全協議』，并且`不是擔保協議』和他們是愉快為了大家能知道它」。 伊朗敵意為伊拉克是嚴肅的，因為伊朗在斡旋末端扮演一個主角到今年初戰鬥在Mehdi軍隊Shia民兵和政府之間。 In an unexpected but important development, the negotiation of a US-Iraqi agreement, to replace the current UN mandate for US forces that is due to run out at the end of the year, is leading to a resurgence of Iraqi nationalism previously masked by Shia-Sunni sectarian conflict. The Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, embarrassed the White House by saying on Monday that Iraq wants some kind of timetable for a withdrawal of American forces included in the present agreement. The national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie followed this up by saying: “We would not accept any memorandum of understanding with [the US] side that has no obvious and specific dates for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq.” American officials have tried to present these demands as conditional on the effectiveness of the Iraqi security forces, which now number over half a million men. An Iraqi official supporting a US-Iraq agreement said: “It will be easier to sell it to Iraqis if it is presented as a way of getting the Americans to withdraw. We still need them. We could not cope if, hypothetically, there was an uprising in Basra, an army mutiny in Anbar or the Kurds unilaterally annexed Kirkuk.” But important Iraqi leaders have sought to outbid each other in criticising American rights under Sofa, while Iraqi supporters of the agreement have been largely mute. This suggests that the position of the Republican presidential candidate John McCain, that the US occupation should continue for many years, will soon no longer be tenable. “We should negotiate with the next administration,” said Dr Mahmoud Othman, the veteran Kurdish politician and MP. “A letter of understanding will be sufficient for now. If the agreement does not bind the next administration, why sign it? People will think it is being done to help the Republican party.” Defenders of Sofa, such as the Foreign Minister, Hoshyar Zebari, say the agreement will limit and define American rights in Iraq. The alternative is the UN mandate, under which US forces can do what they want. The negotiations have provoked a nationalist backlash among Arab Iraqis because they highlight the extent to which America will control their country in future.
