BGG – Think about all this for just a sec…They have had several Shia dominated government’s that were corrupt and not getting anything done for anyone but themselves…(Maliki, Abadi and Mahdi). They were headed for another Shia dominated government with even less accountability than in the past. 1) The protesters didn’t like this guy [Allawi]. 2) The Kurds didn’t like him. 3) Sadr didn’t like him. 4) The Iraqi President of the Republic, Barham Salih, very nearly resigned over having to “nominate” him in the first place. There are is a very good chance we just dodged another bullet with the developments of last Sunday. If he wasn’t the right guy to get this done – he wasn’t the right guy. Instead of always thinking THIS was some kind of delay… [post 1 of 2]
