Iraq under the Iranian Influence : People without a state

Under the policy of discontent shown  by the administration of US president Barak Obama for the foreign policy pursued by Iraqi Prime minister Haider Al-Abadi , the latest of which was the fabricated tension with the Turkish Government,  the us administration sent several days ago Gen. Lloyd Austin , commander of the central command of US Army  to meet Iraqi officials, including Iraqi prime minister and Defense minister Khaled Al-Obaidi, having met them separately , and due to the importance of this meeting for the US administration ,the meeting was attended by the US ambassador in Iraq  Stewart A. Jones .                      In these two separated meeting ,  Gen. Lloyd Austin  informed both Iraqi prime minister Haider Al-Abadi  and the defense minister Khaled Al-Obaidi that the US   is discontent  with   the diplomatic crisis  which was  ignited by his Government and Shiite militia on the background of  sending some troops and military  equipments  by Turkish Government to the Iraq specifically  near the Mosul  city   , these officials were informed that Turkey is a strategic ally to  the US and is an active  member in the fight  against ISIS and the angrlik base, which is on its territories , is   also used against ISIS   ,therefore US will not accept to exert political pressures  against its ally. He also informed them that Turkey is an important country to Iraq being direct neighbor to it and have political papers as the Kurdish paper  that could adversely affect the stability of Iraq if it is used against them    .                                    At these two meeting , Lloyd Auston  stopped  to a very important  issue which was the cause of the fabricated  crisis  and that is the   subject of Iraqi  sovereignty wondering  why did you express your strong  anger  as an Iraqi officials about the entry of Turkish troops to your territories and treated with this entry as a flagrant violationof Iraqi sovereignty  while the Iranian military  presence   was completely ignored noting that there are Iranian officers carrying out military operations in Iraq , and you did not express any objection towards   Russian missiles launched from the Caspian Sea and passes through your airspace destined for Syria  , which affected the civilian traffic in general and you did not deal with daily  violations of Russian fighters to that airspace ?
Also, in the framework of his visit to Iraq ,Gen. Lioyd Austin met the president of Kurdistan region –Iraq  Massoud Al-Barzani  to emphasize the depth of relations between US and the  Region and the Coalition in the face of ISIS .
The message of US through Lloyd Austin to Iraqi officials  is clear that this crisis has its regional and international dimensions and provokers  noting that the  regional provoker is Iran in the event that Iran is not willing of  the Turkish presence on Iraqi soil, especially in northern provinces that is in the long run will achieve some sort of balance with Iran which control over  the southern provinces and middle Euphrates not to  mention over   Baghdad and Russia is striving behind the crisis to revenge on Turkish Government which dropped the Russian fighter last month so Syria has become a Russian  protectorate , and  Russia looks o bring Iraq to such protectorate and take from this false crisis  as a pretext to interfere based   on the pretext that this interference to be done on the request of   Iraqi Government  to confront  Turkish interference and to fight ISIS and this interference is a matter of time no more  .
We add here ,  the remembrance of Iraqi officials of  the subject of Iraqi sovereignty seems quite surprised noting that the sovereignty in general is  an integrative process   between its external and internal form and inseparable from each other . In this context we wonder where was the Iraqi sovereignty in all of the following conditions :
When the former Iraqi prime minister Nori Al-Maliki wasted the wealth of Iraq  and the increase of corruption in all joints of Iraqi state so  Iraq  occupied in accordance with high international organizations a distinguished position   in the hierarchy of  the  countries  which  sponsor of corruption at  the international level , and the savagery of the sectarianism against the Sunni component and transform Iraq into an Iranian district  and the Iranian currency is circulating in the Iraqi mar, especially in the southern  and middle   Euphrates  governorates .
About any sovereignty they speak and defend in the event that the authority of the militia is stronger than the authority of the Iraqi prime minister  which  impose  its policy on him
Which sovereignty to leave militias to kill Iraqis especially Sunnis and other nationals residing on the territory of Iraq who exposed to the kidnapping, murder ,torture and material blackmail ignoring the burning of children by the militias of Al-hashed A-lshaabi (the popular crowd).
The sovereignty and its false  prestige appear only  in front of the Turkish Government and the people of the Sunni provinces in Iraq .
We  have not heard or read about the government of a state in the international community behaved like the Iraqi government towards its citizens when requested from the people of Tikrit  fleeing from the military interfaces before entering their capital to have a guarantor,
Do  citizens within their  homeland need a transit visa to move from one governorate to another ? this happens in Iraq. About any sovereignty they adhere  and fight for it when
thousands of Iranians stormed Iraqi borders under pretext to commemorate the 40th  day anniversary of the death of Imam al-Hussein, we did not hear any Iraqi complaint against this misconduct which remind us of Korean  war and Iraq-Iran war  noting that we did not hear that any Iraqi official threatens the Iranian regime  and has not requested an urgent meeting of the security council and not an emergency meeting of the Arabic league  council
and those Iraqi officials did not go to Arab and International bodies and institutions when Ali Younis , the Iranian advisor of president Hassan Rowhani   said  Iran today has become an empire as it historically was and its capital Baghdad ,and it is the center of our civilization , culture and identity referring to the return of the pre-Islamic Sassanid Empire which occupied Iraq and made al-Madain its capital, and said that the geography of Iraq and Iran are  indivisible  and our culture  is non-refundable for disassembly so that either to fight together or to unite  in reference to the Iranian military presence in Iraq recently. So in all of these cases , Iraqi sovereignty is absent because basically there is no sovereignty and was finished off by Iranian influence and its tools .
In this realistic data affecting the essence of internal and external Iraqi sovereignty , we see it is difficult for  amateurs  of political  action of the Iraqi government to persuade superpower state like the US that the crisis with Turkey stems from patriotic feeling and not fabricated ones and its false anger came as a result of violating its sovereignty  by Turkey and the US is fully aware of their false proclaims and the US administration is also  aware of the regional and international links of the crisis so the US sent  Lioyd Austin CENTCOM  Commander of the US Army  to inform  Iraqi government of the American position of the fabricated crisis  and this behavior should  not repeated with  a strong ally  of the US in the middle east and it seems that the message has arrived  .
We conclude by saying that Iraq since the the consolidation of the control of Iranian influence on it   in the reign of the former Iraqi prime minister Nuri al-Maliki and to this day ,   the     talk of sovereignty has become absurd noting  that the  sovereignty was lost in post-2003 and  Iraq as a result  has lost its importance as a pivotal state  in the Arabic environment and middle east and after this  Iraq has become a state without people .
