Iraq the Model is absolutely indespenseable
What a fabulous source for Iraqi political news.
The latest on a possible political alliance that could nix the UIA fundamentalists:
...there's a growing feeling among the public here that the Sunni and secular blocs are brewing an alliance with the Kurds (and probably the Fadheela Party too) to form the government on their own and depose the UIA.
This feeling is being fueled by statements such as the Accord Front's Dhafir al-Aani's latest controversial statement which was published on al-Sabah; al-Aani said that "the political map in Iraq is going to witness a dramatic change and the new bloc formed by the Accord Front and Iraqi list is expected to grow bigger than any other individual parliamentary bloc when another big bloc joins us"....
Read the entire article and others before it. This is not far fetched because the UIA block which received about 45% of the seats in the next parlament is fracticious and if Fadheela bolts UIA that will reduce UIA's plurality substantially, making it very plausable for Maram to form a majority government if they can bring in the Kurds. This kind of stuff happens in parlimentary governments.
