GCC calls to enhance the Arab role in supporting Iraq

Emerged brominated calls Gulf Arabs to support Iraq in order to avoid Aznlagah about major political crises could lead to a sectarian war again. These calls have appeared in some newspapers , particularly in the Gulf United Arab Emirates.

The daily said "the Gulf" UAE to be a terrible mistake was made by the Arab regimes to the situation in Iraq after the occupation is coping with the command sectarian reality and decided by the occupation and Iraq's new leaders a framework for the new state and deal with what's happening is as much intertwined.

Under the title / " Iraq. Where / writer said Dr. Abdullah Al- Omran, in an article published in the newspaper today: "These sectarian forces organized and armed political ideology and militias not only saturation and the spoil of recognition, but insisted the transfer of the spoils with the complicity of the occupation and the strength of regional non-Arab and Arab silence to entitlements drag Iraq out of his head to the golf disintegration, disruption, and sequences of violence, corruption and waste of potential and role in the region."

The author said that some Arabs felt that the election although it took place in abnormal conditions and presence of the occupation, and secretions could provide a new approach to the advancement of Iraq's collapse.

But they were surprised that it brought political life to the roots of sectarian conflict and personal although it appears on the surface of Ichaabaat "democracy "false and is compounded by the risk that appeared recently as an option and an Arab largely came to be included in the framework of sectarian groupings, the same, although the head of this option announced Almanith ambiguities.

The newspaper is true that the weakness of the current Arab situation is an unprecedented situation but it is certainly time to bet on this is not the case in the nature of history nor logic nor the supreme Arab interests.

Mansoob and ambush us as Arabs is to surrender and accept the reality and adaptation to the degree of pleasure or even silence and ignored.

The author felt that the possibilities are many and being aware as possible and to restore confidence after the loosened often very much required.

He pointed out that the Arab world wakes up now on the size of loss in Iraq after the fundamental forces clashed in the Arab world to each other about this Iraq during the past seven years.

And called for Arab cooperation and the Alliance for Iraq, but we offer a new blog complicity with an equation to transform Iraq into a sectarian rivals before and after the U.S. withdrawal decision a year from now.

And said, Behold, we are seeing today that we overestimated in praise of the election, they produce only a fragile state and failed at the root as long as the political process is sectarian and as long as some regional powers unabated into the fabric of political life and non-political.

He stressed that the occupation at the end of it is no longer a security requirement is leaving Iraq, as foreign occupations left many countries.

Having provided the incubator for chaos and civil strife. He cautioned that what it's worth meditation on this political vacuum serious elections led to a void into which adds to the disintegration , particularly in the event of war on the West of Iran from the Gulf which is increasingly likely by the day In such a climate, it is sin to continue the traditionally Arab-watching The fate of Iraq and leave the face of alone in the light of the clash and the wide-ranging and significant impact.

The "Gulf" at the end of her essay is true that the political virginity these days high in the media and statements.

No one interferes in the affairs of Iraq, neither Iran nor Jeffrey Feltman, no money, some Arab leaders.

But certainly the correct blood dealers, arms and oil is not fed only from the chaos, destruction and war.

Wondered whether we wake up and when.

After the "Basra was destroyed" as the saying goes and how much Basra in the Arab world has the right to ruin.

Is Iraq an economic battleground?

Before launching his war to topple Saddam Hussein’s regime, George Bush, the former US president, promised a strong independent Iraq. Instead the country has become a bloody battleground for regional and international forces, not to mention al-Qaeda. Today US, Israeli, Turkish, Saudi Arabian and Syrian forces compete to shape Iraq’s political landscape.

Sometimes this competition is fought with brute force and sometimes by proxy through Iraqi political parties and armed groups. The prize is Iraq’s geopolitical value as a lynchpin of Gulf stability and its huge oil reserves.

While on the economic front, US companies have all but surrendered their quest to monopolize Iraq’s oil; Chinese companies have signed at least three deals in recent weeks, and have emerged as Iraq’s single largest investor in the oil and gas sector. Concerned Iraqi nationalists condemn this interference but predict that Iraqi nationalism will eventually sweep away all this meddling.

A spokesman from A.A.I.B. Insurance Brokers, a company specialising in Iraq observes; perhaps we should remember the words of Deng Xiaoping the Chinese politician who led the country to towards a market economy during the 80-‘s and early 90’s with his “socialist market economy” model. He is generally credited with advancing China into becoming one of the fastest growing economies in the world for over thirty years and vastly raising the standard of living of hundreds of millions of Chinese. He once said “I don’t care if it’s a white cat or a black cat. It’s a good cat so long as it catches mice.”

So in the case of Iraq, it’s not important what colour the cat is – which companies develop the oil and gas sector. What is important is that extra employment is created, oil exports are boosted, and substantial funds flow into the coffers of the Iraqi Finance Ministry.

The people need to see that the oil and gas sector is refurbished and developed quickly, safely and efficiently.
