    Although significant attention has been given to athreat from Iran, Iraq views Iranian influence astenable and manageable, as they are less involved

    with organizing and supporting terrorist action thaninterfacing with select political contacts withinIraq. It is GOI opinion that nationalistic Iraqiopposition to Shiite Iranian influence is seen as

    likely provided there are no external foreigntriggers for sectarian conflagration. Iransinfluence is further stymied by its current

    atmosphere of internal tension.

    Iraq is currently a federal constitutionalrepublic. Its constitution was ratified on25October2005. It has been outlined in theIraqi constitution that Iraq be divided into

    18 federal governances which will beresponsible for regional affairs while theBaghdad central government will operate

    international affairs.Iraq was unified by theBritish as a nation state following World WarI and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.Ithas been a sovereign state since 1932, and arepublic following a 1958 coup dtat whichdisplaced King Faisal II. Under the SunniBaathist regime of Saddam Hussein Iraq

    enjoyed relative political stability. Eightyears after the 2003 coalition invasion Iraqis now controlled politically by a ShiiteIslamic majority government. Parliamentaryelections were held on 07March10. The threemain political parties are al-Iraqiyya, the

    State of Law Coalition, and the National IraqiAlliance. Iraq's constitution provides for a

    tripartite presidency consisting of aPresident of The Republic and two deputy

    presidents whose decisions must be unanimous.Kurdish politician Jalal Talabani was electedrepublic president on 06April05 by the IraqiNational Assembly. Vice presidents are Sunni

    blocked requests to clarify their budgets and several USaudits have been performed of the agency detailing

    inefectuality in contractor management, reconstructionefforts, and vetting of individuals found to be terrorists.

    Major elements of the Insurgency inIraq(III) have largely been

    operationally neutralized throughoutthe country due to concussive and

    decisive military operationsspearheaded by US combatant forces.

    With the withdrawal of US forces froma great portion Iraq, Al-Qaeda in

    Iraq(AQI) may have lost somelegitimation operating in country,and although periodic high profileattacks are still being carried outon an intermittent basis, the group

    may now be considering greateremphasis on execution and support of

    external operations.

    The current "stability"of Iraq is held togetheras a tenuous balancingact between 3 major

    sectarian identifiers,150 separate tribes,

    the political interestsof its neighbors, the

    Iraqi Security Forces (ISF)and the continued supportprovided by United Statesand foreign personal.

    AKU94-Bullpup Configuration

    REPUBLIC OF IRAQANALYTIC FINDINGS:It is highly probable that Iraq will not be established as a fully functioning, independent, cohesive, self determinate, andsovereign state by 2013. Iraq is a menagerie of vying sociopolitical and religious factions in the process of solidifying into legitimate andfunctioning political bodies. Heavy investment towards the success of Iraq as a Producing Nation by international developers and contractors hasensured a measure of growth since 2003. The presence of coalition forces ensures a fragile semblance of stability and it is possible that a smallUnited States Forces (USF) presence will remain incountry to augment the Office of Security Cooperation (OSC) and to support the ongoing Departmentof State (DOS) diplomatic mission.

    OPEC have stated that they are counting on Iraq tomake up for deficiencies in oil production and export.

    The ability of Iraq to deliver in a timely manner is highlyquestionable. Former Oil Ministry Planning Director

    Fateh Al-Khayat has said, "By 2025, Iraq will contribute 5.6m b/d of an Opec call of 10.5m b/d. The rest has to

    come from elsewhere. Given the current political troubles, that is unlikely, and means Opec will not be able to manipulate

    the supply any more."
