Dr. Mowaffak Al-Rubaie: Is Iraq Secure?
Iraqi leaders are confident that the Iraqi Security Forces are capable of replacing U.S. troops in major cities in six months' time, but are the ISF ready to take control? Will the country be secure in the upcoming elections, provincial (January 31) and national (December 2009)? What is the future of Iraq's security under the Status of Forces Agreement?
Dr. Al-Rubaie, National Security Advisor for the Government of Iraq, will discuss Iraq's current security situation and respond to questions from the audience.
This public event is off-the-record.
