Monday Iraq Update

The violence goes on, and nothing else is working.

A session of Iraq's parliament planned for Monday has been postponed amid continuing deadlock over the PM. MPs were to meet for only the second time since December's election but the acting speaker said leaders needed more time to resolve their differences.


4 months, and the nation is still gridlocked.

The sad part is even if the minority parties get a new person to serve as PM, it will have little effect on the operation of the government. He will be working from the same perspective as Ibrahim al-Jafari and will be answering to the same people as al-Jafari.

So, even when a PM is announced, don't expect much to work, except for the violence.
