Spokesman for Al- Kadhimi: Iraq never Needs Foreign Forces

Maj. Gen. Yahiya Rasul, a spokesman for Iraq's Prime Minister and   Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, said that Iraq never needs US forces or any other foreign troops.

Rasul added that threats linked to ISIS are still looming so all Iraqi must rub shoulders as the Iraqi national security is above all.

He stressed that all countries in the world should respect the sovereignty of Iraq.

Rasul criticized those who target the foreign military bases as illegal behavior and who want to expel the US forces there is the dialog as an approved way.

He revealed that there talks between Iraq and the United States of America (USA) to withdraw its forces from the Iraqi territories.

He assured that the task of the North Atlantic Organization Treaty (NATO) is consultant not combatant.

He indicated that the NATO mission Iraq participates in building the new Iraqi armed forces.

It is worth noting that a number of Iraqi armed groups (known as resistance factions)   refuse the US forces in the country.

Qais Al Khaza'aly, Secretary-General of what is so-called "Assayb Ahl Al Haq ( Bands of the Righteous People) has warned that dialog never works with the Americans to make them withdraw but the Afghani method (in implying to the armed resistance led by the Taliban).

However, the US Central Commandment announced earlier today, Saturday that the USA won't withdraw its forces from Iraq according to the wishes of the Iraqi government.

Al Khaza'aly tweeted that the recent statements of the USCC prove the real intentions of the USA not to withdraw its forces from Iraq.

The White House announced last March that "the American administration and the Iraqi government will hold a strategic dialogue next April."

The White House stated, "The meetings will clarify the tasks of the international coalition forces present in Iraq, and that they are limited to training and advising the Iraqi forces, and that their presence in the region aims to prevent the terrorist organization ISIS while regrouping its ranks."
