Iraq in the Obama Administration

December 23rd, 2008 by Tariq

Daniel Serwer and Sam Parker at the U.S. Institute of Peace just released a briefing entitled, “Iraq in the Obama Administration,” focusing on what he can do as early as possible, since “due to declining U.S. leverage, the Obama Administration will be best positioned to affect the situation in Iraq during its first year.”

Also of interest should be this article by Matt Duss at the American Prospect, which addresses how “[t]he recently negotiated security agreement reveals who really as the power in the new Iraq.” Hint: it’s not us.
