External interventions is expanding and transforming into a written messages

Agreed Ssayasion and observers of the Iraqi that the inability of political rivals reach a consensus to end a deadlock over a government may open the door to foreign interference took several parts, the last letter addressed to members of Congress to Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and warned that implied that the formation of a sectarian government will introduce the framework agreement Strategic cooperation between Iraq and America at risk.

Emirate 's (Citizen ): Arab lobby and Iraqi power in the U.S. policy is working towards supporting Allawi
Members of the U.S. Congress, waving Security Council intervention to resolve a deadlock over a government

The letter called on political leaders to height differences of the past, without reference to what those differences - saying only that "we urge all political leaders in Iraq Alatvaa over past differences and show the spirit of true national by working together to form a government of national unity."

To this view , observers and watchers of the political ferment that the intention is a matter of the past differences and ablation of the right of the political blocs, as some observers note that the invitation to form a government of national unity means involving everyone, even those who have not won the last elections.

Commented watchers political ordains the letter on the relations between Iraq and the United States and to warn that a sectarian government that will display the relations of risk as a veiled threat intervention of the UN Security Council to take decisive action after the thirteenth of next month, which is the date of the end of the age of the first session of the parliament supported At the Chapter VII of the UN on the hybrid trust on Iraq. The letter also "We are writing to you today in your capacity as Prime Minister of the caretaker government in Iraq."

To this end, a member of the National Coalition victor emirate that the U.S. strategy was not ambiguous on the Iraqi political elite does not need to be smarter in many of the Congress, and message monitoring of several possible angles.

He said the emirate in a statement (home) can reference the most important observations in the letter is that it came in the final days of the constitutional should be formed to which the government and therefore came at a time is senior politicians in Iraq that they are under great pressure and they therefore need a way out (No Way Out) Ieelloukon reasons for not molded by the next government.

He said the letter is U.S. interference in Iraqi affairs and devise a threat which the head of government designated by the Prime Minister of a caretaker administration that Iraq also warned the Americans, the Iraqi government to put the framework agreement strategic between the two countries at risk if ruled Iraq sectarian government and is intended by the Government of National Alliance, but if Maliki's coalition With Allawi, the nature of sectarian will remain on the personality of al-Maliki, adding letter, referring to the sacrifices should not be in vain, a sign that the Americans came, crossing thousands of miles, and gave soldiers and blood on the soil of Iraq and therefore can not forget the blood and return without a government affected by the opinion of the American Lower estimates.

And increased the emirate is clear support by members of the U.S. Congress, Dr. Iyad Allawi, this means that there is a "lobby" the Arabs and the Iraqis working in this direction and affect the political decision to the U.S. showing a clear sign of strange and at the same time in the message tell the owners you hand over the premiership of Mr. Allawi, and called his (Allawi's government) the Government of national unity does not know whether to accept al-Maliki that the American pressure, and certainly he would reject such pressure from any source.

And said I have connected the message on the formation of the government led by Allawi and U.S. efforts to end the remaining sanctions Chapter VII of the UN in Iraq and this is painful as it embraces the evasion of the U.S. government's commitment to this theme when signed with Iraq security agreement and the strategic framework agreement and it seems that paper the pressure this will yield As long as the government was formed is not the pleasure of Americans, even if operating the entire Iraqi people.

Meanwhile, leader of the coalition of state law, Adnan al- Sarraj said the fact the U.S. acts in the Iraqi issue from the site convenient "It gets the parties involved in politics to the clashes, and fatigue, and effort and then interfere with the moment last, as happened in the elections, when entering the U.S. side in the last half hour and a lot of scales Within the electoral process now these play the same role and this role is Dgutat and frequent visits at various levels in order to put pressure on those concerned to accelerate the formation of scale within the U.S. government."

He said yes there is a return to the U.S. role in some of the amendment, which focuses acceptance of the parties after a confrontation with the people and the public that the time has ended and that they must form the government as soon as possible and form the government secular liberal to suit the agenda, and the American project in the region, clarifying I think will increase pressure day after day to day Date of the announcement the Prime Minister which is close within the next week, adding that the focus of U.S. pressure in this direction.

A senior U.S. official : No U.S. plan .. there is no secret plan . We have no influence on the candidates .. do not prefer certain people

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden the U.S. to Iraq on Saturday, amid serious tensions in the wake of the elections held in March did not produce a clear winner in addition to not forming a new government so far

The failure to agree on forming a new government until the next four months after the elections and the continuing attacks by insurgents to provoke questions about the U.S. plans to end combat operations next month before the withdrawal next year.

Is expected to hold Biden, who was appointed by President Barack Obama to follow up the Iraqi affairs to Washington, talks with Iraqi leaders, including Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and former prime minister Iyad Allawi's list won the largest number of seats in parliament.

He said Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh "the United States the most concern and the least interference in the Iraqi issue."

He said al-Dabbagh told Reuters: "She wants to provide advice , but its impact in solving the problem will be limited."

Biden, played down the concern of the United States, saying that the lengthy talks to form a governing coalition is common everywhere, as happened in the Netherlands, U.S. officials said they were not in Iraq to pressure the leaders.

A senior administration official traveling with Biden told reporters: "Let me be very clear .. there is no American plan .. there is no secret plan. We have no influence on the candidates .. do not prefer certain people ... This goes back to Iraqis."

The last time Biden has visited Iraq before the March election shortly, when controversy erupted over attempts to ban the participation of politicians, Shiite candidates, most of the year claiming the existence of relations between them and the outlawed Baath party.

The Iraqis hope that the elections lead to stability and economic recovery, seven years after US-led invasion of Iraq to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and sparked a bitter war between Sunnis and Shiites.

The decrease in violence in Iraq in general sharply after it had reached its peak in 2006 and 2007, but the Sunni insurgent attacks continue almost daily.

Instead of the election in Iraq on the path towards greater security and progress followed the election four months of political uncertainty after the election ended without a clear winner did not reach the parties to the Iraqi political process to agree on forming a new government.

Sunni insurgents sought by the relevant al-Qaeda to exploit the political vacuum through suicide bombings and killings.

And occupied a non-sectarian bloc headed by Allawi, first place in the election by two seats for Maliki's bloc with strong support from Sunnis, who look to Allawi, a secular Shi'ite, as a strong man capable of defending their rights.

But it is expected to lead an alliance between Shiite blocs and with the mass of the rule of law led to the defeat of al-Maliki -led Iraqi Allawi's bloc in the competition, to win the majority needed to form a coalition government.

Osama al- Nujaifi prominent Sunni member of the Iraqi list "We want to solve the problems Iraqis. The issue of government formation is done through Iraqi factions and within the constitutional framework and the resulting election, with an emphasis on the benefit of Iraq."

The Nujaifi in a telephone interview, "other endeavors, whether the Americans or any other party be within the framework of advice and should not be the engine of a compass to negotiate and alliances."

It is possible to respond to the year violent reaction if it did not become prime minister, Allawi, which could embolden the insurgency wounded but still deadly.

Any increase in violence to put pressure on the Obama administration to slow withdrawal from Iraq and redeploy troops and resources in Afghanistan where the Taliban step up their insurgency.

U.S. officials said that their military plans are not linked to form a new government in Iraq. The official said Biden, who is accompanied by "the nature of our intervention change. At a time when shrinking our military are increasing our diplomatic, political and economic."
