One reading of the coup warning

Nahrainnet.net published on the weekend a brief account of the remarks of vice president Adel Abdel Mahdi warning against a military coup, and then this Sadrist-oriented news-site added this:

This warning by the vice president harks back to something that has been published in western reports recently: namely that the United States of America, and specifically its intelligence agency, the CIA, has completed preparation of a scenario for carrying out a military coup in Iraq, and is waiting for the right political and security circumstances, because a military government will guarantee to it a permanent presence in Iraq, that will facilitate obtaining the signing at will of any agreement, in various areas, and primarily in the military and security area.

I don't know what "recent western reports" they are referring to here.
