Iraq war update
Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki took back the statement he made over the weekend that Iraqi forces could handle the country’s security any time the US military chooses to leave, Reuters called for a thorough and objective investigation into the U.S. military action last week that left two of its Iraqi staff members dead, and hundreds of oil industry workers demonstrated on Monday to protest a draft oil law that would open up Iraq’s oil reserves to foreign companies, issuing a statement that read: “If this is endorsed by the parliament it would abolish sovereignty and hand over the wealth of this generation and the generations to come as a gift to the occupier.”
