Now if they can get a real arm and police force deployed that actually stops the violence. Right now too many Iraqis are fighting amongst themselves.
Its a chicken and egg problem. Stability helps in forming a government, a government helps maintain stability. Looking at the situation its hard to say whether this will lead to forming a national army capable of keeping the peace as resentments dealing with the power sharing arrangements have and will spill out into the army. At the sametime as fighting continues events outside of the government affect how much the parties will trust and work with each other.
this isn't even a truly iraqi government, bush ordered the man designated to be prime minister out of office....this is a us puppet regime
No. That's not correct. He cannot order anything. There was a deadlock because the other Iraqi groups (and almost half the Shiites) didn't want him to be PM. That's the way a coalition government works. He stepped aside and the Shiites put forth another PM candidate. I realize now what I should have titled the thread was 'a positive development in Iraq.'
thank you for being an apologist for the bush regime....your true colors are becoming more and more visible with each post
I guess this is another one of your 'fact' based posts. Or maybe its another of your 'I don't make personal attacks' posts, lol. None of your jibes affect what I've posted. Here's another version of the same story. I don't remember where the first story came from: Wed May 17, 9:44 AM ET BAGHDAD, Iraq - Prime Minister-designate Nouri al-Maliki will present his Cabinet to parliament on Saturday, signaling a possible end to months of uncertainty after legislative elections, Shiite and Sunni deputies said. Al-Maliki "will present his government to the presidency today, and the presidency will refer it tomorrow to the parliamentary council," Deputy Speaker Khalid al-Atiya, a Shiite, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "On Saturday, the parliament will convene to vote on each of al-Maliki's nominees and the government's program." Adnan al-Dulaimi, head of the Sunni Arab Accordance Front said parliament "would be convened on Saturday to vote on al-Maliki's government." The makeup of the Cabinet was not released. Al-Dulaimi said he did not know what decision had been made regarding the Defense and Interior ministries. "I don't know whether it is complete yet," he said of the Cabinet. The two main Sunni Arab factions which represent 55 seats in the 275-member parliament had demanded that they either be given or be allowed to appoint the defense minister. In return, the dominant Shiite United Iraqi Alliance, with 130 seats, would get the Interior Ministry, which runs the police. Such a deal would balance out the two most powerful security ministries in Iraq. Sunni Arab deputies confirmed that Cabinet list would be presented at a session on Saturday, two days before the constitutionally mandated deadline for al-Maliki to present the Cabinet. Parliament was originally to have convened Sunday, after having met Wednesday. Under the constitution, parliament — officially the Council of Representatives — must then approve each proposed minister by an absolute majority. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060517/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_cabinet
