Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has accused Qatar and Saudi Arabia of having effectively declared war on his nation, saying they have been pushing sectarian attacks among Sunni militants in his country as well as neighboring Syria.
“These two countries are primarily responsible for the sectarian and terrorist and security crisis of Iraq,” Maliki added, saying they were buying arms for the groups as well as providing them “political, financial and media support.”
Maliki made the comments in an interview, and when pressed on the matter said he believes they are “openly hosting leaders of al-Qaeda.” Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) has conquered much of the Anbar Province of Iraq, along with the town of Sulaiman Beg.
Though the two nations have open ties to Syrian rebel factions, they have insisted this doesn’t include AQI. It is unclear how the faction, the biggest in both Iraq and Syria by far, has managed to be so well funded.
They have already declared war on Iraq. The war started in 2003. His despotic rule has helped ferment the sectarianism.
….Along with his puppet masters in Washington.

Maliki was installed with more than a little US help, and US military aid still flows to Iraq. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are funding al-Qaeda in Syria, so they are supporting – directly or indirectly, wittingly or unwittingly – AQI. However, the US considers Saudi Arabia a "valued ally." I guess that means if war breaks out between Iraq and Saudi Arabia / Qatar the USG will just start bombing everyone in the certain knowledge that they'll be hitting the enemies of at least one of the two sides they support.
This is what happens when ideologues (neocons and neolibs) get control of US foreign policy, and use it to provide unquestioning support for the agenda of a foreign nation (Israel).
Why is Obama still not in prison for supporting (not to mention committing) terrorism by sending Saudi Arabia the biggest weapons shipment in US history – over 60 billion dollars worth of lethal weaponry – in 2013?
I hope everyone here has contacted his or her representative and told them to move to impeach Obama for these and other crimes.
Prof. Francis Boyle has impeachment charges ready and will assist any representative free of charge. They can contact him – his info is available on his Univ. of Illinois site.
