Observers said in Washington that the White House deliberately put Obama's meeting with al-Maliki ahead of Obama's visit to the military base to tell Obama of the troops, and the American people, that the Iraqis are satisfied with what is happening. Because of the criticism of Obama that he hurried withdrawal, particularly because of the strained U.S. relations - Iranian and U.S. accusations to Iran that it wants to control Iraq after the U.S. withdrawal. The observers that Obama will deliver speeches before the end of the year, to focus on that in the promise was made ​​during the campaign year 2008 to withdraw the troops.

In spite of that the meeting of Obama and Maliki will address the issue of Iran after Washington imposed new sanctions against Iran, and also the Syrian issue because of the desire of the United States in Iraq's accession to the decisions of Arab League to impose sanctions on the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, the observers expect that the future of U.S. relations - Iraq is the central subject. The media adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister, Ali al-Moussawi, told the French press: «This will be his first visit, a leader of the state in which no foreign forces can rely on the same full».

Countries are now entering a new phase in our relations, and we have a historic opportunity to strengthen our relations beyond the security side, in order to build a multi-faceted relationship through trade, education, culture, law enforcement and clean environment, energy and other important areas ». The observers in Washington that the agreement be signed by President Obama comes after three years of an agreement signed by former President George W. Bush, a «Strategic Framework Agreement». In that Convention agreed to «establish strong relationships long-term cooperation and friendship». described the agreement as «the basis of a lasting relationship and mutual benefits, based on the principles of cooperation, and sovereignty, mutual respect».
