To be able to maintain peace and security in Iraq, al-Maliki would need approval from the opposition
However, he can only bank on the endorsement of his own Dawa party and Kurdish bloc that have 27 and 58 seats respectively. Faction of rebellious Shia cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, with 32 seats, resists the deal, whereas al-Maliki's Shia coalition partner, the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council (SIIC), with 30 seats, is still sceptical of lending its support.
Talking to B&E on the withdrawal, noted Iraqi expert at Centre for American Progress, Sean E. Duggan said, “An indefinite US military presence will reverse the calculations of Iraqi opposition groups – most notably the Sunni Awakening forces and the Sadr movement – that have been critical in bringing about short-term security improvements. Therefore it is extremely important for al-Maliki to assure its approval.”
Muqtada al-Sadr also opposes any accord that would maintain US military in Iraq. And Shiite-dominated Iran, which exercises substantial sway among some Shiite parties, also opposes the accord. The support of other parties will also depend on Baghdad’s demand of getting authority to arrest and try Americans accused of crimes unrelated to official military operations. Looks like tough times ahead.
