British combat forces are no longer needed to maintain security in southern Iraq and should leave the country, Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi Prime Minister, has told The Times of London. In an exclusive interview in Baghdad, al-Maliki also criticised a secret deal made last year by Britain with the al-Mahdi Army, Iraqs largest Shia Militia. He said that Basra had been left at the mercy of militiamen who cut the throats of women and children after the British withdrawal from the city. The Iraqi leader emphasized, however, that the page had been turned and he looked forward to a friendly,... ... Source: www.commondreams.org --- 15 days ago
BAGHDAD - The scars left by the violence that ravaged the Fadl district of central Baghdad are everywhere in this former Sunni Muslim insurgent bastion. The balconies are collapsed, and the building columns, decimated by gunfire, look like chewed apple cores. Garbage is strewn throughout the streets, and there's little or no electricity. There is, however, a measure of security for the first time in years, and the U.S.-backed Sunni Militia that was stood up here, known as the Sons of Iraq or Awakening Councils, say it's the reason for the change. read more ...

Gen. David Petraeus, whose strategy for countering the Iraq insurgency is credited by many with rescuing the country from all-out civil war, stepped aside Tuesday as Gen. Ray Odierno took over as the top American commander of the conflict. At a traditional change-of-command ceremony attended by top Iraqi and American military and civilian officials, said Odierno's skills and experience make him "the perfect man for the job." With Defense Secretary Robert Gates presiding at the ceremony in a cavernous rotunda of a former Saddam Hussein palace outside Baghdad, Petraeus handed over the flag of his command, known as Multi-National Force Iraq, to Odierno and then bade farewell. Petraeus said the insurgents and Militia extremists who have created such chaos in Iraq over the past five years are now weakened but not yet fully defeated. He noted that before he took the assignment in February 2007 he had described the situation as "hard but not hopeless." He thanked his troops for having "turned 'hard but not hopeless' into still hard but hopeful." Because of Odierno's extensive previous experience in Iraq, he is generally expected to be able to continue building on the gains made under Petraeus' command, although an evolving set of difficult challenges face him here and in Washington, where he will soon have a new commander in chief. A major part of Odierno's job will involve working with Iraqi political leaders, in tandem with U.S. Ambass ... Source: www.earthtimes.org --- 33 days ago
