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

1. Maliki confirmed he received the 3 candidates for the electricity minister, but refused to announce the name of the candidate accepted
2. During a special meeting on Tuesday, between the National Alliance and the Kurds, it was agreed to that the vote on the National Council of the Supreme polices will go to vote this Saturday in Parliament (wooo hooo....progress!)

This is great news, and this is the sort of progress that I was hoping to see instead of the constant finger pointing, political maneuvering, stubbornness, and the list goes on! Everything seems to be lining up for a possible announcement of the government this weekend. Don't forget, they need a full government to ratify the budget on Sunday. We'll keep watching for the necessary events to unfold.
