The United Iraqi Alliance, which is the biggest political establishment of the country, announced its opposition to the security agreement between Baghdad and Washington. This political establishment rose in opposition happened after they put forth an effort to coerce their party members to sign the agreement with America. This move of theirs was unexpected to many Americans.

The day before this opposition was announced the people of Iraq widely protested the agreement showing their negative reaction and clearly announcing their opposition to the world.

Religious authorities of Iraq showed their opposition to this agreement in many stages and warned the present politicians in Baghdad to not fall into the pressure and sign the agreement.

In addition to this, the Religious Scholars of Iraq, a Sunni organization, expressed their opposition to this agreement.

Before this, Mashahdani, Iraq’s speaker of the parliament who also heads one of the parliaments sub-committees clearly stated that the Iraqi parliament will never sign this agreement.

In such conditions the Arab Lawyers Union, which is an Arab political organization stationed in Cairo, leaked the hidden aspects of this agreement by explaining the points of the security agreement between Baghdad and Washington. They also warned the Iraqis from signing it.

Now, it can be confidently said that the far majority of the Iraqi nation and the political leaders of that country rejected the American agreement. There is no doubt that the mentioned agreement is very important for Americans and it is self-evident that Washington is trying to have this agreement signed by any means necessary due to multiple reasons. The war in Iraq has been a failure for America. The only hope that is left for the White House is to force the Iraqis into signing this agreement so that it can be used as a tool to quell the pressure put on the government by the American public.

Americans, as the high political figure Jalal Talabani has stated, have resorted to open threats trying to force the Iraqis into signing this agreement.

Washington has injured its relations with the Iraqi government, which has had relations since ancient times, while trying to push its agenda.
