1-27-11 Iraq: Will the resolution of naming the remaining ministries during the next ten days

Highlights/Thoughts
Click on the title of this posting to get the details of this article

1. MP from the List said that the open ministry positions will be filled, including the security ministries
2. Allawi and Maliki are to meet early next week to resolve the security ministries
3. The List supports Maliki not wanting to provide the remainder of the line-ministries and his indecision on what security ministries will be part of the shuffle
4. She pointed out the previous names submitted for the security ministries were non-professional
5. Maliki did not object to their candidate for the post defense minister
6. It was agreed that the National Alliance and the Kurds would split the defense and interior positions

It's interesting to note in this article they say that Maliki and Allawi will meet early next week. Allawi is out of the country, and Maliki is supposed to leave the country on Sunday. There is a rumor that says the countries Maliki intended to visit rescinded their invitations. If this meeting is to take place early next week, perhaps that rumor is true? Remember, the news we read is typically days late. Also, the rumor put out by this person is said to be days ahead. Interesting.
