The election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United Sates represents an historic American event and a landmark milestone in the story of Iraq.

President Obama's plan to bring US combat troops home in 16 months, however, raises important security questions.

Joining presenter Jasim Azawi are guests former US ambassador to Iraq David Newton, who is also a scholar at the Middle East Institute; Peter Harling, the director of the Iraq-Syria-Lebanon Project at the International Crisis Group; and Iraqi elder statesman and member of the Iraqi Parliament Adnan Pachachi.

  • Everybody always seem to point the fingers at moderate arabs for not standing up enough against extreme right wing people in their countries....but why doesn't anybody question the moderate Israeli's to stand up against their own homegrown zionist extremists? Where is the equal share of extremist eradication here folks?

  • god save gaza and god save the innocent iraqis!!

  • No, Obama won't ban mercenaries. And Obama won't withdraw from Iraq. There's too much money involved. He'll talk like he will withdraw, but when it comes time to act, he won't.

  • iraqi's have accecepted democracy...? I would say they didnt have much of a choice considering it is comming up to a decade of us occupation and the killing of innocent iraqi citizens. Honestly it has been almost 100 years of the west interFEARing over throwing Shah and so on and so on....They would probably accept just about anything by now to get people to leave them the hell a lone.

  • What about mercenaries , Blackwater and the like , will they get out as well? Will Obama ban mercenaries ?

  • The Israel Lobby have succeded in getting 4000 American Christian soldiers to die for them in Iraq.
