from turkish weekly....
"In his December speech welcoming the troops home from Iraq, US President Barack Obama said, “We are leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Iraq, with a representative government that was elected by its people.”
In reality, none of this is true on the ground. Iraq today is a very fragile country. Its sovereignty is questionable, it cannot depend on itself and, according to Iraq’s military Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Abu Bakr Zebari, it will not be able to protect its borders or airspace before 2020. Because of this, Iran is seen as a big winner as it is well positioned to fill the vacuum."
