Major partners in Iraq's governing coalition are in behind-the-scenes talks to oust Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki amid discontent over his failure to quell raging violence, according to lawmakers involved.
The talks are aimed at forming a new parliamentary bloc that would seek to replace the current government and that would likely exclude supporters of the radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who is a vehement opponent of the U.S. military presence.
If they succeed in overthrowing Maliki they will only cause more friction between themselves and al-Sadr. What happens next is as obvious as the lies that George Bush tells. The two sides will battle for control and the winner will have no need of a democratic election, he will have siezed power.
This will signal a return to the type of government that most Iraqis have become comfortable with, a dictatorship.
So the only questions that remain are who will be the new Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and how much will he hate America?
Great post, thanks. Don't know if you've seen these two short videos from Iraq yet or not, but both show the US Military engaging in some very dubious actions. I have them up on my site at www.minor-ripper.blogspot.com ..You have to wonder what these soldiers were thinking when videotaping this stuff...
