Sami al-Askari told AKnews, “Any interference, whether positive or negative, is unacceptable because Iraq is able to make appropriate decisions according to what the government and parliament evaluate, and not according to the interests of neighboring countries.”
Iraq and the United States signed an agreement in 2008 under which all US troops are to leave Iraq by December 31 of this year. The agreement provides that the deadline can be extended, and that is what is being debated in Iraq right now.
