According to CNN the US runs the Iraqi Govt.
It was very detailed about the Iraqi military and other aspects. Stated it's ran by the US. Then CNN talks about the new intelligence estimate and how the Iraqi government is unstable.

So we have an unstable Iraqi Govt. ran by the US.

:crazy:

1. lol
But I do hope the latest contretemps causes the Iraqi govt to ask us to leave. Maybe the Iraqi PM and Parliament can do what our President and Congress have been unable to do - get us the hell out of there.

5. Malaki cannot give orders to anyone
He sits in the greenzone and gives orders to perhaps the cooks/maids and that is about it.

The land/people are ruled by gangs. Whomever is the strongest gets control of a piece of the property.

6. I think it would be more accurate to say that the gop runs the Iraqi Govt
However they are consistent with their promise to one and all:

Government (any government) does not work; put us in charge and we will prove it. So the gop has been very successful in meeting their goal on both sides of the Atlantic.

11. Saying the Iraqi government is run by
corporations might be more accurate.
