BAGHDAD, Nov. 28 (UPI) — The Iranian Press TV, citing Iraqi media outlets, said it has uncovered several secret provisions in the U.S.-Iraqi security agreement.

The Iraqi Parliament passed a measure Thursday that outlines the framework for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country by 2012.

Among the claims, Press TV says the Iraqi Interior and Defense ministries, as well as intelligence operations, will remain under U.S. supervision for the next 10 years.

The report also says U.S. personnel operating in the country are not subject to Iraqi laws.

“All Americans are subject to immunity,” the Iranian report says.

A leaked English-language version of the measure in Article 12 says Iraq has the “primary right” to prosecute those parties for “grave premeditated felonies” and other crimes.

Press TV said the Iraqi media outlets note also that the U.S. military in Iraq will have the authority to establish prisons that will operate under their control.

It has come the former usurping of the land by the trade companies of Britain and to transform that into its colonies. The United States tried its best to get Iraq into its direct occupation which proved a failure in the field, now it is trying to get any of the loophole to maintain its usurping option on the ground.
As long as a single American soldier stands on its feet in Iraq, there will be no peace not only in the area but throughout the world. The act of the attack of the United States has brought disaster all over the world though Mr.Bush failed upto some extent in making that a religious quarrel. Mr.Bush in his war could not become Lion but is now trying some cunning way to become the Fox as his last effort before being dethroned.
