BAGHDAD - "Al Quds Al Arabi": the sudden visit of US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter came to Baghdad and announcing the increase in the number of US troops involved in the war against al "state" and its contribution to the advantage of the liberalization of Qayyarah Air Base strategic southern Mosul, to support preparations for the liberalization of Mosul, came to ignite a new page of the screenplay media conflict between US forces and the popular crowd. Where the latter refused to increase those forces, accusing the United States that the promotion comes to prevent the participation of the popular crowd in the battle to liberate Mosul, the private and the crowd had announced the withdrawal of its forces from Fallujah after its liberation and handed over to the local authorities to move towards decisive battle in Mosul with the organization, "the state."

On the other hand, came to organize a large military parade for the first time in Tahrir Square, the heart of Baghdad, the spring, the military and police forces and popular crowd on the occasion of the National Day and the liberation of Fallujah, in conjunction with the organizing demonstration in their millions same place demanding reforms and to hold corrupt, called by Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the Sadrist , of being in a test of wills between the influential powers in the government and the people's demands reforms and the fight against the corrupt.

Sadr's demonstration, which came from his headquarters in Najaf to Baghdad and arrived in uniform and met directly led Brigades "Saraya peace" of him and told them to be ready within two hours if needed, in a letter aroused the concern of Iraqis, prompting Sadr to declare that he wanted to reassure the people of Baghdad that the demonstrations will continue peaceful and does not target only corrupt, stressing that the message demonstrations are spreading peace, security, pre-reform, never motto "The army is fighting terrorism and we are fighting corruption."

Tough and led from the streets and bridges and cut closure areas of security measures, to disrupt people's lives and interests without justification, amid questions about the insistence on organizing large military parade in the heart of Baghdad's busy economic Although there are dedicated to such celebrations Arena.

And full of the Iraqi scene during these days are also manifestations of an escalation of sectarian rhetoric in a campaign led by the militias and the Shiite parties that exploited the crime of bombing in the Karrada to pressure the government for the release of the hands of the militias in the security file in the Iraqi capital under the pretext of security forces unable to protect citizens from terrorist attacks, as if the factions People crowd has a magic wand to prevent terrorist acts by the spilling of Iraqi cities since 2003 and that the US occupation forces and the Iraqi security services failed to stop despite all its possibilities and capabilities.

And encouraged crime Karrada some militant factions to try to impose themselves on the Iraqi scene and do more than the prestige of the state and its security forces, when he appeared to the public, the leaders are wanted, such as alias "Abu Deraa," who was a fugitive in Iran years of being legally required to sectarian crimes since who visited site of the blast and launched threats to avenge the martyrs of Karada of "kegs Daash" intended "year", as the militia Abou El Fadl Abbas initiated the storming of the whale prison in southern Iraq threatened the implementation of death sentences against those sentenced to death on charges of involvement in terrorism in prisons who crashes denies their verdicts reasons administrative related to the approval of the president on those provisions.

Pressure on President Fuad Masum has led to its approval to amend the penalty provisions of the legal proceedings which gives wider powers to the Ministry of Justice-run lead in the Islamic Virtue Party in the implementation of the provisions even if her holiday presidency.

On the other hand, the parliamentary security committee report on the bombing of Karrada, declared in front of the House of Representatives on aspects of the recent horrific bombings in Karrada operation center of the Iraqi capital that killed nearly 300 martyrs in addition to hundreds of injured and missing and considerable material losses revealed. The report acknowledged the inability of the security forces action on the prevention of terrorist acts in the capital, without specifying the security officials for negligence, but the report coincided with the submission of the Interior Minister Mohamed Ghaban resignation and exemption commander of Baghdad operations, Abdul Amir al-Shammari from office without holding them accountable for security breaches.

The remaining concerns of the Iraqi legitimate and justified by the deterioration of the internal security situation and congestion sectarian atmosphere and the growing influence of armed groups, as long as the reasons are present and difficult to control, despite the presence of the satisfaction of my people in the achievements realized by the Iraqi armed forces on the frontline in the war against al "state" in the courtyards various operations and near the end the nightmare of its presence in Iraq.
