Allawi: Iraqi security forces unqualified
Baghdad - 03-09-2010
Iraqi security forces are still unqualified in performance, the Head of al-Iraqiya List, Ayad Allawi, said on Friday. “There is a tremendous failure in dealing with security in Iraq, and the country needs a strong government capable of facing security chaos and gaps,” Allawi told the press. He attributed recent security improvement to the surge in U.S. force before the withdrawal, in addition to the deployment of Sahwa (Awakening) forces. “The country’s security is the responsibility of the Interior Ministry’s forces, not the army, but these forces are still unqualified and unable to achieve this mission,” Allawi explained. He added that national security should rely on the country’s real interests, and that the society should be in peace with itself, without excluding or eliminating anyone.
