FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
nsnbc : Nouri al-Maliki, who since 2012 warned that Iraq was being targeted for subversion by Saudi Arabia and core NATO members, stepped down as PM on Thursday. Al-Maliki is succeeded by Dr. Haidar al-Abadi. It is hoped that the new PM can form a functional government. Analysts warn that the Saudi/U.S. driven Balkanization of Iraq is unlikely to end with the formation of a new government.
Al-Maliki stepped down after eight years in office. In 2012 al-Maliki warned that Saudi Arabia had reopened smuggling routes in the Al-Anbar province in response to his government’s position on the attempted subversion of Syria. In late 2012 al-Maliki said:

” Qatar and Saudi Arabia which are meddling to topple the Syrian government are now doing the same meddling to topple the Iraqi regime. Their goal is overthrowing the Iraqi government. Their goal is overthrowing the Iraqi ruling system and not overthrowing me”.
While stepping down, al-Maliki endorsed his successor and fellow Shi’ite Dr. Haider al-Abadi. Al-Maliki and al-Abadi stood side by side during a televised address where both warned about the dangers arising from the Islamic State.
The two stopped short of openly mentioning that Saudi Arabia is the primary financier and the U.S. the primary supervisor of Islamic State operations, according to a high-level Lebanese source. Al-Maliki said:
“I announce before you today, to ease the movement of the political process and the formation of the new government, the withdrawal of my candidacy in favor of brother Dr. Haider al-Abadi ….From the beginning I ruled out the option of using force, because I do not believe in this choice, which would without a doubt return Iraq to the ages of dictatorship, oppression and tyranny, except to confront terrorism and terrorists and those violating the will and interests of the people”.

Some Middle East analysts stress that al-Abadi may be a compromise that is acceptable for Iraq’s Sunni minority which principally ruled Iraq during the regime of Saddam Hussein.
Iranian Head of State, Ayatollah Khamenei openly endorsed al-Abadi as candidate. The regime in Tehran has increasingly distanced itself from al-Maliki over the past months.
Al-Abadi was also endorsed by the U.S.’ National Security Adviser Susan Rice who expressed that al-Maliki made the right decision when he stepped down and to concede the candidacy to al-Abadi. The Reuters news agency quoted Rice as saying:
“These are encouraging developments that we hope can set Iraq on a new path and unite its people against the threat presented by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant”.
Ironically, it may very well be a cooperation between the U.S. and Iran that contributes to the Balkanization of Iraq. While the U.S. sent weapons to Kurdish Peshmerga, Iran sent troops who are playing a significant role in the Kurd’s fight against the Islamic State.
Several analysts repeatedly stressed that the U.S. is supporting the Islamic State because it aims at either the establishment of a separate Kurdish State in the North of Iraq, or so far-reaching autonomy for the North that a U.S.-controlled North would be in de-facto control of most of the country’s oil resources.

Oil, smuggled from both Syria’s Deir Ez-Zour province and northern Iraq via Turkey is playing a critical role in bankrolling the Islamic State. The Kurdish government is acting as intermediary for the stolen Syrian oil. The final decision to oust al-Maliki was reportedly made during the Atlantic Council’s Energy Summit in Turkey, in November 2013.
Prior to the Energy Summit in November 2013, Atlantic Council President Frederick Kempe, said that he was of the opinion that a very important period had begun from the perspective of the United States, Turkey, and Iran. Kempe described the coming developments as a turning point, just like in 1918 and 1945.
