Upon arrival in Iraq from Washington, President Jalal Talabani told reporters that he is concerned over Washington threats.
“Washington threatened to use any means to seize Iraqi assets if we do not support the security pact,” Marsadiraq quoted Talabani as saying.
Washington currently seeks to sign a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) with Baghdad to give legal basis to its military and political presence in oil-rich Iraq after a UN mandate defining its status expires on December 31.
You see at least the Americans people are not the only ones they are threatening. The real reason emerges, permanent bases.
