2-14-11 The Iraqi List, describes a meeting of its leader, al-Maliki as positive
Highlights/Thoughts
Click on the title of this posting to get the details of this posting on TCN
1. The List described the meeting with Maliki as positive and stressed that both sides discussed all the topics agreed upon in Irbil/Arbil/Erbil (this city has many different spellings...just wanted to point this out to sort out the confusion)
2. The meeting between Allawi and Maliki took place yesterday evening
3. Both sides also discussed the security ministries
Please note that Allawi and Maliki were scheduled to meet in the evening yesterday, but news came out saying that Allawi left unexpectedly to meet with Barzani. This news obviously contradicts yesterday's news saying they did not meet. Just goes to show that you can't always rely on news just as you can't always rely on rumors.
