WHO SAYS THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT IS "UNABLE TO FUNCTION?"

WHERE'S YOUR ARTICLE ON THE LIBERAL WAR CRITICS' FAVORABLE ASSESSMENT OF THE SITUATION IN IRAQ IN THE NYT?

COULD IT BE... SATAN?

This is one article. In addition BEFORE the Sunnis quit, The Iraqi Government was unable to resolve ANY of the major issues that prevent the sectarian violence from ending!

Sunni Bloc Quits Iraqi Cabinet

BAGHDAD - Baghdad shook with bombings and political upheaval Wednesday as the largest Sunni Arab bloc quit the government and a suicide attacker blew up his fuel tanker in one of several attacks that claimed 142 lives nationwide.

The Iraqi Accordance Front's withdrawal from the Cabinet leaves only two Sunnis in the 40-member body, undermining Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's efforts to pull together rival factions and pass reconciliation laws the U.S. considers benchmarks that could lead to sectarian reconciliation.

So what is the problem then? It didn't work before, according to you, why do you care about it now? I don't understand why you point to a Gov't as being useless when they were complete and then call it useless after some of them leave?

While I agree that this looks really bad for Bush, not surprising but sad, it's silly to call it useless when it was complete and now it's useless when missing people as if it was good before.

“So what is the problem then? It didn't work before, according to you, why do you care about it now? I don't understand why you point to a Gov't as being useless when they were complete and then call it useless after some of them leave?”

This insures they can not come to agreement and the sacrifice we are making is for NOTHING!

Yesterday 172 People were killed in Iraq. Yes the Surge is working!!!

the only problem with this statement is that you have been saying it from the day they announced the surge

More proof the Iraqi Government will not do what needs to be done to end the violence in Iraq. This is a loosing proposition and it is time Congress ACT to end our involvement in their Civil War.


Iraqi Political Crisis Grows

BAGHDAD - Iraq's political crisis worsened Monday as five more ministers announced a boycott of Cabinet meetings - leaving the embattled prime minister's unity government with no members affiliated with Sunni political factions.
Meanwhile, a suicide bomber killed at least 28 people in a northern city, including 19 children, some playing hopscotch and marbles in front of their homes. And the American military reported five new U.S. deaths: Four soldiers were killed in a combat explosion in restive Diyala province north of the capital Monday, and a soldier was killed and two were wounded during fighting in eastern Baghdad on Sunday.

The new cracks in Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government appeared even as U.S. military officials sounded cautious notes of progress on security, citing strides against insurgents linked to al-Qaida in Iraq but also new threats from Iranian-backed Shiite militias.
