Iraq: Elections, Occupation and the Withdrawal of US Forces
The stakes could not be higher for Iraq than they are right now.
This month marks seven years since the 2003 US-lead invasion and occupation of Iraq. It also marks the second general elections since the beginning of the occupation and six months before the date by which President Obama promised to remove U.S. combat forces.
Iraq’s general elections will result in a new Government that will govern Iraq as the US military presence ends.
