Bush pledges to continue support for Iraqi government



U.S. President George W. Bush met Iraqi President Jalal Talabani at the White House Thursday, having reassured him that Washington is "fully committed" to aiding the Iraqi government.

"I told the president that I'm fully committed to helping the Iraqi government achieve important objectives," Bush told reporters after the meeting.

"We call them benchmarks, political law necessary to show the Iraqi citizens that there is a unified government willing to work on the interest of all people," he said.

Bush also said he was sending one of his top aides Meghan O' Sullivan to Baghdad to help U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker work with Iraqi leaders on making political progress.

Talabani said that the Iraqi government is taking control its own country. "I don't deny difficulties, I don't deny shortcomings, " Talabani said of his country. "I don't deny that still we are suffering from some problems. But we are determined to (meet) benchmarks, and we are determined to move forward and to achieve."
Talabani last visited the White House in September 2005

People's Daily Online -- Bush pledges to continue support for Iraqi government

ABC News has learned new details of the military's efforts to reach out to insurgents, including secret face-to-face meetings with a notorious group that has bragged about multiple attacks on U.S. forces.

The group is the 1920s Revolution Brigade, Sunni insurgents who have bragged of repeated attacks on Americans, including one just three weeks ago.



"You name a mainstream insurgent group, and we're talking to them," a source familiar with the effort told ABC's Jonathan Karl.

And military commanders have high hopes this tactic used by U.S. and British officials will be effective. Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno said he believes that the negotiations can convince 80 percent of the Sunni and Shiite insurgents to lay down their arms.


The CIA is also involved in the effort, identifying insurgent leaders and bringing them in for talks with the military. That effort has stretched to relatively junior commanders, as lieutenant colonels have been given the authority to negotiate directly with insurgents.


"I'm empowering them and trying to give them some tools to reach out, because there are insurgents reaching out to us," Odierno said today during a Pentagon briefing.


In one instance, the leader of 2,000 Sunni tribesman met with a lieutenat colonel earlier this month and said his members, including many who are suspected of supporting the insurgency, are looking for jobs with the local police.

So far, the talks have not included anyone tied to al Qaeda, but Odierno does not rule them out entirely. "I believe little -- very few of al Qaeda are reconcilable. But there might be a small portion," he said.


As the price for peace, the insurgents have demanded jobs, pensions and amnesty for their fighters, including those who have killed Americans. That is hugely controversial, but it may simply be necessary. As one senior Pentagon adviser put it, "They will stop killing us if we reconcile with them."


WE have been saying all along, give them an economic out and they'll lay down their arms!

Remarks by President Bush and President Talabani of Iraq in Photo Opportunity

WASHINGTON, May 31, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Oval Office 3:00 P.M. EDT

PRESIDENT BUSH: It is my honor to welcome the President of a free Iraq back to the Oval Office. President Talabani, thank you for coming. I admire your courage. I admire your dedication to a united Iraq. I admire the leadership you have shown, and I welcome you.

We had a good conversation today about a variety of subjects. I told the President that I'm fully committed to helping the Iraqi government achieve important objectives, we call them benchmarks, political law necessary to show the Iraqi citizens that there is a unified government willing to work on the interest of all people.

The President fully understands the need for the Iraqi government to meet certain benchmarks, and he is dedicated to achieving those benchmarks. We're working very hard, for example, on getting an oil law with an oil revenue-sharing code that will help unite the country. Working very hard on de-Baathification law -- reform, as well as provincial elections. We talked about a lot of issues.

And I want to thank you very much for your vision, Mr. President, and your willingness to take the hard steps necessary to get the job done.

I told the President the decision I have made -- I've asked one of my top aides, Meghan O'Sullivan, to return to Baghdad. Meghan has been a integral part of our team here at the White House. She has been in Iraq before. She's going back to serve with Ambassador Crocker, to help the Iraqis -- and to help the Embassy help the Iraqis -- meet the benchmarks that the Congress and the President expect to get passed. I want to thank Meghan for her dedicated service to a free Iraq.

Mr. President, it is important that you succeed. Failure in Iraq would endanger the American citizens because failure in Iraq would embolden the enemies of a free Iraq. David Petraeus said, public enemy number one in Iraq is al Qaeda. Al Qaeda happens to be public enemy number one in America, too. And that should say loud and clear to citizens who still remember the lessons of September the 11th that it's in our interest to help the Iraqis defeat al Qaeda.

We must not let al Qaeda have a safe haven in Iraq. We must not retreat in the face of the unspeakable violence that they perpetuate on your citizens. We must help you prevail. And if all Iraqis showed the same courage you show, we will prevail. And there's a lot of courageous Iraqis there.

I'm confident we can succeed, Mr. President, and I want to thank you for coming here to the White House to join me.

PRESIDENT TALABANI: It is an honor meeting our great friend, who we consider the hero of liberating Iraq, President George Bush, who was always with Iraqi people. Also I must tell you that I'm committed as the President of Iraq to benchmarks and to do our best to achieve some progress forward for national reconciliation, for passing the law -- oil law, de-Baathification, and investment, and other laws which are now under discussion. And I think we are due to finish all of these and send it to parliament to be achieved.

At the same time, we are committed to do our best to train our army and our forces to replace gradually the American forces in taking responsibility of the security of our country. Of course, we are very grateful to the American people. And I present my condolences to the sacrifice which these glorious people America has always presented for liberating peoples all over -- (inaudible) -- and for Iraqi people and others.

We are always committing our desire to strengthen the unity of Iraq and the unity of the national government, to have the collective leadership in Iraq for getting the oil problem. And I briefed his excellency, Mr. President, about what we have done and what we have achieved for this purpose.

I'm glad to have the support of President Bush and the Congress. I'm grateful to Congress. I told President Bush that I'm grateful for the Congress for the last decision and for the decision, which was the resolution that was taken by Congress, the resolution of liberating Iraq at the time of President Bill Clinton.

So we are determined to success. Of course, you have problems. I don't think that everything is okay, everything is good, we have no problems -- no, we have problems. We have serious problems with terrorism. The main enemy of Iraqi people is al Qaeda and terrorists cooperating with them. But there are groups who are now raising arms against us, now we are negotiating with them to get them back to the political process of the Iraqi people. You have good achievements also. We hope that this will lead to more big steps forward to national reconciliation in Iraq.

We are also determined to improve our political and economic life in Iraq. We achieved -- unfortunately, media only concentrating on negative sides of Iraq. They are not concentrating on big achievements in Iraq, economic achievements, raising the salaries of the millions of Iraqis, improving the social life and the -- that all the universities, schools, hospitals are working well in Iraq. Besides the problems which we have -- we don't deny it -- we are trying to overcome these difficulties. But we have some achievements. Thanks to the United States of America and our great friend, President Bush, we achieve some good, important success.

Besides some failure in the security, we have also successes in bringing democracy for the first time to Iraq. All kinds of democratic rights are now available for Iraqi people. We have free election, we have now parliament elected by people. We have authorities -- presidency, prime minister -- chosen by the people. This is happening for the first time in the history of the Iraqi people.

Also we have some kind of success in rebuilding our country. Not all parts of Iraq are terrible. You have in the north of Iraq, Kurdistan -- in Iraq living in peace, security and prosperity. And also, in the south, you have about nine provinces now secure and gradually -- days ago the American forces delivered the responsibility of security to the authorities in Iraq -- so we are going forward -- with difficulties; I don't deny difficulties, I don't deny shortcomings, I don't deny that still we are suffering from some problems. But we are determined to benchmarks, and we are determined to move forward and to achieve, as Mr. President mentioned.

Now we are due to have the oil law, which will revolution for all Iraqis; due to review the de-Baathification. We have our new draft for this. We have another draft for investment. We are encouraging investment from outside to Iraq. And we are going to renew the local elections -- in near future for this.

But again, I am grateful to the American people, to the President of the American people, for what they have done for my people, for Iraq. We are now living in much better situation than we had in the past. And we are facing common enemy, which is still -- al Qaeda is the enemy not only of Iraq and America, but all people of the world. Look to the Arab countries, everywhere; al Qaeda -- in Morocco, in Saudi Arabia, in Egypt, al Qaeda is starting to work against all peoples of Middle East. So we are fighting this enemy. And as President Bush said, there must be no place for al Qaeda in Iraq or in other places, because if they can have such a kind of bases, they will threaten Europe and United States of America.

Again, Mr. President, thank you very much for your kind visit, and for your important words you say.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you.

Federal or unit?

The dispute over the political structure of the Iraqi state is moving strongly and violence since ousting Saddam Hussein, Falakrad insist that Iraq becomes a federal Kurdish region and sacred law as a separate entity enjoys autonomy, this knowing that the region had existed as a separate entity since ,1991 could not be forced to enter any order against their wishes.
Have demonstrated the Kurds themselves during the writing of the draft transitional administrative law and a draft of the Iraqi Constitution when federal items be included. In any case, not only specific feature of the federal nor the way of allocating power to the regions to resolve regarding the Iraqi authority in the center of the country. This would be of fundamental importance and essential to determine whether Iraq will be, indeed, a federal-state where the elements of the States where real power, which can not be challenged by the Central Iraq - or whether will be federal in name only, with the survival of a final authority in Baghdad.
Kurds have spent a large chunk of their diplomatic efforts to persuade Shiites their benefits continue to work on a formula for federal units in the center and south of the country. These attempts and opened the rift between Shiite rivals different : it wants the Supreme Islamic Council in Iraq found 'governorate huge' stretching from Baghdad to Basra, and the perception of the Virtue Party was based solely on the basis of Basra governorate The Sadr movement, have totally rejected any model federal land, , which would be a first step to allow Iraqi Kurdistan and possibly even Basra, to withdraw from Iraq.
Controversy over federal, in fact, not related to any matter concerning federal ideology (though the line of Muqtada al-Sadr could be interpreted as a desire to defend the unity and integrity of Iraqi territory as Iraqi nationalists), but the difference was due to political and economic considerations. The discord between the Virtue Party and the Supreme Council, for example, can be traced impact Shiite political geography. With its stronghold in Basra, the Virtue Party will be a political force without competitors in the 'small area in the south', will also be responsible for the huge oil industry in that part of the country. Conversely, with relatively limited support in Basra, but with greater support in Nasiriyah, Najaf and Karbala, the Supreme Islamic Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, the leadership in the entity is much more than just the besieged Shiite south of Baghdad.
As for Muqtada al-Sadr, with the influence in Baghdad, it is likely to gain sufficient support to win power, either in the south or in the center and south. However, his popularity in Baghdad alone can make it appear as political leader in the Shiite leadership of a unified state.
This dispute over future federal Iraq is what led to a surge in violence in Basra and the south, between the Supreme Council, Virtue and chest over the past year. It also is feeding violence also, increasingly, in southern Iraq, by militia attacks and sectarian groups Kzlesk sincere ideological extremist 'Day believes that salvation', which aims Supreme Council as parties' Iranian 'taking instructions from Tehran.

Year separation between Kurds and the Shiites

As for the year, tend to be Kurdish federal mechanism for secession from Iraq, and thus did not receive the federal funds, in fact, any support from politicians Sunni Arabs. However, there is an important element in their position may appear, perhaps during the current year, while the year still, in general, opposed to the idea of full federal Shiite region, it started to look to the presence of the Kurdistan region as something they can not contest. Therefore, the Sunni Arabs, with some support Shiite offer, increasingly, that the Kurds are allowed to proceed on their way, but not be included in the distribution of the Iraqi state budget.

The government budget Kurdish region, not, in any way, autonomous from those of Iraq, in reality, it's budget dependent entirely on the continued presence of the Iraqi government, since the cost of managing large need to meet the full, almost, through remittances from the Iraqi government, it is without these remittances will Kurdish state, and quickly, to find other sources of revenue. Without agreement on structural federalism, the Kurdish negotiating position on the oil and Kirkuk will be, necessarily, is not subject to bargaining, where politicians Kurds will assume that their financial security would not arise from the agreement through Baghdad, but from the exploitation of their natural resources in Kirkuk and elsewhere.

Oil Law

Perhaps the oil exit the draft law effectively basis to ensure the survival of Iraq, where oil revenues will be archived by the State together rather than any attempt to build a national project homogeneously in the short term. In any case, the oil law is inextricably linked to the future of federalism. With the absence of any agreement on the nature of federalism, characterized the negotiations on the oil of no confidence, the policy edge of a cliff and, ultimately, failure.

For negotiators, the Sunni Arabs, the situation is very simple, summarized in the following, that the Iraqi oil resources are for the benefit of all Iraqis, and thus must be managed by the Ministry of Oil in Baghdad, with the proceeds to be distributed, too, centrally. In this model there is no room for the involvement of governments such as the Kurdistan region brine or entity central Basra. This tension has led the Ministry of Oil, on several occasions, the announcement of CONGRESSIONAL BILL oil Montreal, only to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources in Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan region, carelessly declaration.
The Kurdish position is followed very closely the conditions agreed upon and set out in the Iraqi Constitution. It maintains the central government to shoulder its responsibilities regarding the management of the resources of wealth institution origin 'perhaps in Kirkuk and Basra', and the distribution of proceeds to an area of the state.
In any case, according to Kurdish interpretation of the constitution, the local governments (CIS) responsible for the management of the fields' new 'within their territory, thereby initiating the distribution of revenues within the region (own), and to the Iraqi government but by the terms of agreements.
In any event, no agreement on how they would work this way. The negotiators year position and that the oil is one of constitutional issues that must be negotiated to ensure their cooperation in the National Legislative Assembly.The confirmation of the position, the Kurds negotiation of exploration contracts (oil) with the international oil companies. We have already signed a number of contracts with small companies adventure, and to provoke panic Baghdad.

Crucify Kurd

The differences on the oil broke, and regularly, in the year 2007, in January announced last Iraqi Oil Minister Hussain Sharistani that there is a law had been passed so that all of Iraqi oil to be under the supervision of the ministry in Baghdad, regardless of the region that happen to the existence of these operations. The response from the Office of the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan region, Barzani Nchervan, is expected soon.

He declined to announce Sharistani stated that the Constitution gives the Kurds the right management fields. Barzani also offered the most sensitive subjects for Iraqis - namely, the future of Kirkuk.
While it appeared that the dispute had been resolved, differences erupted again in early May last year with the officials and Kurds object to the law for various reasons (previous objection regarding important detail on the operations of the annexation. The latter, Viaatard fully and without reservation to the existence of the law), and the threat of causing a full stop to the process.

Kirkuk and the disputed areas

The future of Kirkuk could be related more closely Iraq's future policies, if possible, to find compromises and solutions to this template, which is the first models divided cities, so goes the way, then it can find solutions for power sharing and conflict management, and resolve the remaining problems of Iraq. Another reason, perhaps, because one is optimistic that the future of Kirkuk would be relatively peaceful (in Iraqi). After all, there is a certain designated followed (article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution). The divided people did not participate, so far, and unlike most extravagant expectations that the Kirkuk area first flared in the Iraqi civil war (as happened in Baghdad in lieu thereof) massacres comprehensive, even after waves of bombings.

It is likely that the reason for not fall into the trap of Kirkuk in fighting so far, as happened in Baghdad, or even in Mosul, is the future of Kirkuk that the decision was postponed since 2003, but can not be postponed any longer. The political process conditional article 140 set a three-stage process, including the 'normalization' to be together and naturally with Al Qaeda (which means removal of Arab families and the return of exiled Kurds, Turkmen and Assyrians), and include 'census of the population', which will be taken whereby the demographic characteristics of Kirkuk following the normalization process, and finally, 'referendum', which will be about the question of whether residents want to maintain integration in the region of Kurdistan or remain outside.
It is likely that this year we will witness the escalation of violence in Kirkuk, where Kurds are determined to pursue the operation of Article 140 and that the referendum will be by December 2007, while the j people from non-Kurds are determined to prevent the referendum, and without a referendum, there is a serious risk of violence entry Kurdish one hand, There is also another serious risk start-Kurdish violence.
Fkrkouk, federal and oil, in addition to security concerns, the targeting of Iran and implementation of American policy in Iraq and the region as a whole, all things come together in the year 2007, created the likelihood that the situation in Iraq is much worse before it starts to improve after that. There are hidden, and the operations and many different forces will accrue and will meet in the near future, makes it likely that Iraq and move lurching from one crisis to another in the year 2007 instead of to enjoy the improved security situation and the political process through a constructive dialogue between communities include Iraq. Either of these developments would feed, it will be the regional power in the Middle East, specifically Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Conclusion

It would be a mistake to believe that political forces in Iraq are weak and can be reorganized perhaps by the United States, perhaps by the international community. While there is no one-party state to exercise authority, as did the deposed Baath Party, he described the miscalculation of the prime power in Iraq today as contractors for the project ethnic sectarian cherish, only exploit the situation for their own benefit,

Regional concerns

Not necessarily that the continuing instability in Iraq against the interests of the three main neighbors. All of these countries have different reasons to maintain the status quo there, and that each State using different means to influence developments in Iraq.

Iran

Iran has intensified security presence in Iraq. It has been, always involved in a real and internist in Iraq's affairs, whether through religious networks that link the Shiite world, or through a covert paramilitary organizations such as the infamous' Basijis, 'or' Albazdaran ', and their link with the various Iraqi Shiite militias. These links exist at the highest levels of the Iraqi government, not including Shiite figures, but Kurds and even some year. Foreign most capable force in Iraq, including the influence future events, the United States is not as Iran.

It is Iran's geopolitical perspective, is Iraq, and specifically the south of Iraq, 'back yards'. But there is a more pressing geopolitical regarding interference of Iran in Iraq beyond historical ties, kinship and religion : Iraq theater, which now is that Iran can fight the United States without doing so publicly. Since the beginning of the Iran-Iraq war, Iran build and strengthen themselves for the control of the Gulf region, with the United States, only obstacle in the way of Arab States.
The Iranian government can now use the events in Iraq to weaken American solution, at least for domestic public opinion, to target the United States directly.

Saudi Arabia

That appearance likely 'to the Shiite crescent' based in Iraq, Iran undoubtedly affect the activities of some Gulf Arab states attempt to form guide events in Iraq. In any event, and for the year ,2007, the possibility of a Shiite-Sunni war in the Middle East is still far. Nevertheless, it is definitely a cause of concern to the Sunni Arab states that the former stronghold of Arab nationalism, ie Iraq, is now, and for sure, the hands of the Shiites, and that the State Foreign most influential in the country is Iran. This has caused considerable alarm, particularly in the Gulf states, and there is good reason for that. Places province soups in oil-rich Saudi Arabia, is predominantly Shiite areas of the population. Although the local leadership declare their loyalty to the State of Saudi Arabia, the Shiites are linked Acharia Shiites in the south of Iraq, mostly choose, specifically, Ayatollah Sistani (a Persian) reference for tradition.

Any victory for the Shiites in Iraq a year at home or at any division of the homeland to a Kurdish, Sunni or Shiite, will irritate, to a large extent, the Saudi leadership. Saudi Arabia may not stand aside if the United States withdraws from Iraq now. Because such action, principally, would alert the start of civil war, Sunni, Shiite comprehensive in Iraq with the possibility that Saudi Arabia and Iran to fight each other through their respective alternatives in Iraq.

Turkey and the Kurds

Turkey considers the integration of government Kurdish region, is the largest in Iraq, is needed to check the caution, if not fully arrest, and that must be considered to prevent Kurdish attempts to provide security for the city of Kirkuk and control the oil resources.

To achieve this, Turkey has chosen to follow a series of policies, including the direct threats against the Kurdish area (for example, moving 60 70 thousand soldiers to the border in February), and hold conferences for lighting the impasse Turkomans in Kirkuk. Did not these policies, specifically, including successful that the Iraqi government itself seriously affected by the policy Kurdish clear and prominent, as well as the American administration not prepared to force the Kurds to back down from their demands, and that there was no attempt, certainly, to dismantle solve the Kurdish area of Iraq and integration, with force, with Iraq.
There is also a political dispute within Turkey itself, PDP Justice and Development pending between promoting Turkey's entry into the European Union and satisfy the demands of its generals, or even the personal accomplishments adjunct now, and without exception, a complex organizations with formations separate political and military relations with the developer of a neighboring strongly and deeply rooted in the old Iraqi society.

The government Nur al-Maliki has struggled to control the affairs of Iraqi cities. Many of these cities, including Kirkuk, Mosul, Baquba, Samarra, Ramadi and Basra, had become theaters outside the law to the conflict sectarian violence and mutual cleansing procedure. These cities fell and became outside the orbit control of the Iraqi government and governed and surrendered, rather than that of force resulting from the barrels of guns that can access any group to dominate the specific area. The remaining region of Kurdistan, only unaffected by the civil wars to ravage the rest of the country, but they are still threatened by violence, including differences on the 'disputed territory' by Bassenjar, Mosul, Kirkuk and Mandali intervention Kurds in conflict with their neighbors. Contrary to initial hopes for planners and politicians in Washington and London, it appears likely that he will have to accept the reality of regional division of the Iraqi political life - which is in fact an indication of the policies built on the basis of identity-specific feature of the Iraqi political structure.
This situation needs to work with them rather than oppose it.

At continue doing such a strategy, not a military force, in the form of increases (the number of troops), to provide compatibility between the political views critical, as it can be through partnership, only, and enter a dialogue with leaders and organizations possess some degree of credibility and legitimacy among the local population, there is a chance that a political solution based on negotiations between the Iraqi communities, may provide a basis for a stable Iraq ends.

That recognition and 'introduce' Such leaders can begin by outside commentators, but there will be a chance of success is much greater if the Iraqi leaders were seen leading participants in this dialogue : There are a number of them well, but in a 'behind the scenes'. Now, the partnership process needs to be open and transparent.
The three facets of this approach is simple enough : to find representatives Arabs to participate in the government, recognition of Moqtada al-Sadr as a legitimate political, to be more responsive to concerns of Kurdish. We must mark any of these approaches taken by the United States or the Iraqi government when formulating policies and planning for certain activities. Have proved meetings, such as those that took place in Sharm el-Sheikh in early May ,2007 that the solution must be found within Iraq itself.
While it seems clear that the strong interests in neighboring Iraq and that they engaged in activities which, but that support for any specific approach could help in stabilizing Iraq, only if the Iraqis themselves to reach some form of compatibility with each other. And in reality, there will be a need to find solutions to Iraqi problems of Iraq, then there will be a need to support it by regional forces, as well as the United States.
To devise solutions American or regional players by special interests, and imposed on the Iraqis, had ordered tried before and did not work only to destabilize the situation more.
