New Iraqi Government

[jaguar]

I must say, the lineup does look fairly good, though I worry about the prez's lack of political experience, they seem to have a good agenda, the question now is whether anything will come of it. It'll be a snowball thing either way, if they can start to make a positive impact on the ground, support and tollerence of terrorist elements will wane, if they prove ineffectual and/or appear to be US puppets the situation will deteriorate towards failed state.

If it does work it will be an incredible acheivement but I'm not holding my breath. There are many forces at work now and I fear large parts of the US govt have the gun aimed squarely at their feet.
