Dr. Abbas Kadhim, director of the Iraq Initiative of the Atlantic Council said that the United States has got its priorities all wrong in Iraq in an interview aired on Al-Iraqiyah TV (Iraq) January 20, 2021. He said that the U.S. is wasting millions of dollars on the wrong causes, such as training activists, instead of engaging in technology and education or cooperating with Iraqi agriculture, industry, and economy.
For the first time in more than 2 1/2 years, a suicide bomber attacked a crowded part of Baghdad today. The World's Marco Werman was joined by Dr. Abbas Kadhim to discuss if this means a return to the violence that Iraq has witnessed in previous years.
