STATUS OF THE RV , PART. 4
😊In yet another optimistic article about Iraq titled “IRAQI OPPOSITION LOBBIES IN AMERICA: JOE WILSON AND THE MEGA CAMPAIGN AS AN EXAMPLE – URGENT” we find an American politician bringing emphasis on Iraq. For all too long Iraq seemed to be all but ignored by the U.S. foreign policy, except for military purposes against ISIS and terrorism.
Now we read that US Senator Joe Wilson, known for his controversial positions, announced the launch of a campaign called “MEGA”, in direct imitation of former US President Donald Trump’s “MAGA” (Make America Great Again) campaign.
Addison Graves “Joe” Wilson Sr. (born July 31, 1947) is an American politician and attorney serving as the U.S. representative for South Carolina’s 2nd congressional district since 2001. A member of the Republican Party.
Wilson’s campaign, according to what he posted on his account on the X platform, aims to “support the Iraqi people to make Iraq great again” , in reference to the October 2019 protests, which he described as “a non-sectarian movement abandoned by US President Joe Biden.” So, we can yet more aspects of the U.S. policy towards Iraq slowly changing for the better too. It is not that Trump does not want wealth and prosperity for Iraq too but he is setting the first priority and this must come from dealing with Iran first. If you don’t deal with Iran first the chaos in the middle east will never end. It is time for it to end and then the U.S. can concentrate more on its partners in the middle east.
The article tells us that nn recent years, Iraqi lobby groups have become active in the United States, seeking to influence American decision-makers regarding policies towards Iraq.
These lobbies are divided between supporters of the current Iraqi government and opponents who seek to change the political system in Baghdad. Among the American figures who adopt this approach, Senator Joe Wilson stands out targeting what he called “liberating Iraq from Iran”, which sparked widespread controversy in American and Iraqi circles. I am sure you all can see why this would be controversial for Iraq since Iraq and Iran are tided together both culturally, ethnically and by trade (economics).
Wilson’s statements and his new campaign of MEGA for Iraq faced sharp reactions from American commentators on social media platforms, with some criticizing him, saying that “American politicians should focus on their internal issues instead of interfering in Iraq’s affairs.” The campaign also angered some American political circles, as some considered it an “irresponsible attempt to reignite chaos” in a country suffering from major political and security complications. I will add that change is hard and sometimes faced with strong resistance. Are any of these negative political figures invested in the corruption schemes with Iraq?
How must money have they gained from holding back Iraq and its currency reforms? Yes, you have to take comments like these against change with a grain of salt as you don’t know what is behind them. In another note you would also think that the democrats in the U.S. would be happy and jumping up and down about all the exposure of corruption and cutting waste out of the U.S. budget. But are they? Why not? Go figure who is behind it.
