BAGHDAD / Sky Press: ah



US Vice Foreign Minister Anthony Pellnkn visit to Iraq did not succeed in answering the important question deals with the battle of Mosul and dates, and US commanders hide their desire to speed up the liberation of the city process, while Ttrat political circles, seeking to resolve differences Iraqi Iraqi-on post "Daesh."

According to sources familiar with the Pellnkn talks in Baghdad and Erbil that the US administration does not have a specific date for the battle and their context and their results, but prefers to accelerate in order to achieve victory ahead of presidential elections in November (November) to support the fortunes of the Democrats in the presidential election.

And the problem of the Battle of Mosul, not limited to the military operation itself, there is the conviction that it will not take more than two weeks, and that "Daesh" will leave just as he left Fallujah after more than two years of control. The difficulty lies in determining the fate of the members of the organization, since allowing them to withdraw regulator, as happened in Fallujah, toward the desert Baaj rocky rugged on the Syria border, and from there to tenderness, while retaining the freedom of movement across the borders stretching for about 600 kilometers Restoring that Mosul will not be of great military value, and will run Daesh maneuver and wide, including the provinces of Nineveh, Salahuddin and Anbar, what gives him a chance to retake areas lost, before the Iraqi forces succeed in securing.

And secure the restored areas of the organization seem a pivotal point in American foreign debates, more than those conducted by military commanders, as they are related to project the future of Mosul and choices and conflicts of different countries, including Turkey, Iran and the United States, the different Iraqi parties.

Kurdish officials confirm that the statements they put conditions for the participation of "Peshmerga" in the battle of Mosul, including an understanding with Baghdad on the fate of the city after its liberation and the creation of the territory in Nineveh province and a referendum on the annexation of the liberated areas to the Kurdistan region.

The Minister of Defense article Khaled al-Obeidi announced from Washington last month refused to participate, "Peshmerga" in the battle, while Washington and the parties to Sunni rejected the participation of "popular crowd", as well as the declaration of the former governor Liberation of Iraq, with the participation of Turkish troops in the operation.

It seems that the US plan were not basically get out of the two to avoid engaging in battle inside the city, and to allow them to organize in the city cordoned off the area around the Oraaffha.

Did not show a change in attitudes, after visiting Pellnkn Baghdad and Erbil, last Thursday, as regional president Massoud Barzani, he demanded in a statement as "a political plan for the period after the liberation of Mosul to prevent the deepening problems, protect and reassure the ingredients, especially the Christians and Yazidis in the Nineveh province."

And adopts Barzani and Turkey project to divide to the united provinces of Nineveh in the territory, while the "popular crowd" forces, which is directly linked to Iran rejects this plan, insist Deputy Secretary General Hadi al-Amiri on a city to maintain a condition to participate in the editorial process.



In the absence of agreement on the future of Mosul, political, and to participate in the liberation forces, and will hold the land and secure borders, the battle seems far away, but if Washington has increased pressure on all parties to reach an understanding postpone differences beyond getting rid of "Daesh."
