Iraqi Kurdistan might become the region with the largest presence of US bases in Iraq. It enjoys a safe environment where there is little if any political or social disapproval of America's presence, unlike many Iraqi governorates with Sunni or Shiite majorities, where armed factions and militias consider American presence an occupation.
However, some local governments outside the Kurdistan Region also support the idea of the keeping the US military bases, especially in unstable areas, to maintain security and prepare the areas for investment and reconstruction.
"We support keeping the US forces in the military bases in the province under the Iraqi-US agreement in 2008, because this brings more stability to our province," Baldawi said. "We are even looking forward to the full activation of the agreement."
He added, "We appreciate the efforts of the international coalition led by the United States in supporting Iraqi forces in the liberation of our province and Iraq as a whole." Baldawi's province has witnessed cycles of fighting and violence since the United States invaded in 2003. Most of the province fell at the hands of IS in 2014, but is now under Iraq's full control.
Al-Monitor tried to determine the current stance of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) on the presence of US troops. However, the response by PMU security spokesman Youssef al-Kilabi was short and carefully worded: "The PMU is part of the Iraqi armed forces, and it holds the same stance as the Iraqi government." In the past, some PMU factions did not mince words.
Naturally, the following questions remain unanswered. First, will Abadi be able to convince his rivals and friends that US troops should remain in Iraq? Second, will allowing them to remain guarantee Iraq opportunities for stability and guard against a succession of crises? Third, if Iraq invites US troops to stay without consulting Iran, will Iran take actions to confront the troops?
Very remote or there is too many scenarios:
1- First : thre is no indication that US troops engaged in battle , this is very important as Iraqis refuse that , this is first step toward greater presence of US troops , Iraqis say , Why , we only need them till we rebuild our armed forces, thus we need air support , surveillance.
2- seconed : US proved that they destroyed every achievements Iraqis reached and worked hard for 50 years , we have to rebuild again, we cannot tolerate anymore the presence of USA , we do not have another 50 years extra .
3- What USA done : they preferred ISLAMIC Political Parties : because they know well and very well that political ISLAM do not recognize the sovereignty o f its country , thus destroying those countries , this lead us to who is profiting from destruction>>>>the answer is easy :
State of Israel >>>> that leads to another question >>>>why ? ,,,,,,,,,,,the answer is easy
...............because AMERICAN are stupid politically >>>>>>>there is facts to acertain such conclusion:
Why they left Iraq after they spend 3 trillion USD , do not talk about democracy ( the American version)>>>>>>>we are the old world , not A NEW NATION >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> so that lead to another question>>>why no woman can be president of UNITED STATES?
A very simple an answer : for 2 reasons >>>>>>>the other is :
if a person steals a horse : they hang him on the next tree >so it is a country build on the culture of voilance >>>>>
Third : what is the bond between USA and Iraq : cultural , of course not , simply our girls cannot date a boy as in America.
Iraq- Iran share or bond in religion rituals , they share borders , they share fare trade agreements >
So itis in the interest of America that Iraq returns to stone or dark ages , and that can be achieved by making Islam is highest regarded the ideal of Iraqis , but as Political Islam , that can be achieved by letting IRAN controls Iraq , it is in the best interests of AMERICA .
Another scenario: recently they talk about USA investment in Iraq : anyone have seen the sun rises from the west, if so then USA shall invest in Iraq .
There shall be no USA bases in Iraq ( as it is not in the best interests of state of ISRAEL, and it is not important to the national interests of USA , the safety of USA can be compromised by the safety of ISRAEL, and can reach agreement with IRAN , selling IRAN planes , technology hardware , refineries , earth moving equipments.........etc , as Iranian needs it >>>>>>>
so if the sun rises again and again from the west , then you can be sure that Iraqis believe in USA intentions>>>
there is more scenarios< but i do believe this is enough for today
