2. The spokesman for the List said they still have not received a response from Maliki
3. The List has repeatedly complained there is no logical justification for Maliki to delay naming the 3 security ministers any longer and has not noted any seriousness on the part of Maliki about resolving the issue
4. Mulla said the security in the country is compromised and further delays in allocating the 3 ministries, especially now that the political blocs have named their candidates, are unwarranted
5. Maliki announced last Thursday he would submit the names of the alternative candidates for the security ministries to parliament, if there was a failure to reach consensus
6. The List maintains that it was agreed in the Erbil meetings prior to the formation of the government that the List would hold the Ministry of Defense and the National Council would take the Interior Ministry
