00:00And the fact that Iraq is currently in political limbo ever since the elections at the end of last year,
00:05do you think that played a part in perhaps how Iraq didn't adequately make its case to Washington
00:12and explain what the consequences of such a strike on Iran would ultimately be for the Iraqi people?
00:19No, I don't think so, because had there been a new government,
00:25it would have been of the same color that these militias and Islamic parties allied to Iran
00:33would have formed the new government, and its position would have been the same,
00:40because the government is unable to face these militias,
00:44first of all because they are strong, and secondly strong militarily,
00:49and secondly because it depends on their support in parliament.
00:54So any other government would have been in the same position.
