The American's spent five years slaughtering the sunni during their occupation.
Now they're swapping sides and will spend the next few years supporting the ISIS.

This is a well defined strategy to keep Iraq/MEast in turmoil.

maliki has close ties with hispullah, tahran and damascuss.

Maybe they want to change him bc he sends his troops to other countries!

The other reason is that the gulf countries want to finish the syrian camp(syria, iraq, algeria, falastin) so maybe they put pressure on the US.

Sahal what do you mean gaas is not in control of puntland ? Will he run for president in 2016

Sxb.....the Gulf countries cannot put any pressure on the US....they are dependent on US/Israeli support for their continued survival.
It would be like saying....Hassan Sheikh can put pressure on Ethiopia/Kenya/Uganda.

[Amirsade]

The United States, leader of the western democracy world, and the police man of the world is between a rock and a hard place. They must support al Maliki and Shia camp to continue their strategy of the Iraqi war.
The Sunni camp spear headed by Saudi Arabia is against this, second biggest ally of Saudi Arabia, after Israel. So the US need to come in terms with Saudi Arabia and Israel, and by this they cannot send US soldiers to iraq except couple of hundred military advisors for Maliki regime, support it by Iran. Maybe some air support. This is the likely the way things will go.

No sxb, they do pressure on the west, diplomatically because of their heavy weight influence

Who has brought siizi? It was them

Iraq is just like syria and iran, under bosh maliki was different(bosh was planning to get rid of him though)

Obama has let him free but bc of losing the american military equipments he's now siding with saudi arabia

Even that american report says the gulf allies are againist him
