Karyn discovered 5 months ago- But wait ... wasn't Defense Secretary Bob Gates claiming just days ago that political progress is being made in Iraq? It seems the Iraqi parliament has a different assessment.
- From the page: BAGHDAD - The speaker of Iraq's fragmented parliament threatened Tuesday to disband the legislature, saying it is so riddled with distrust it appears unable to adopt the budget or agree on a law setting a date for provincial elections.
Disbanding parliament would prompt new elections within 60 days and further undermine Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's shaky government, which is limping along with nearly half of the 40 Cabinet posts vacant.
The disarray undermines the purpose of last year's U.S. troop "surge" - to bring down violence enough to allow the Iraqi government and parliament to focus on measures to reconcile differences among minority Sunnis and Kurds and the majority Shiites. Violence is down dramatically, but political progress languishes.- But wait ... wasn't Defense Secretary Bob Gates claiming just days ago that political progress is being made in Iraq? It seems the Iraqi parliament has a different assessment.
