Speaking with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Iraq and Iran Brett McGurk says he believes Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s days are numbered.
“I think we’re in a race against time,” McGurk warned, but said he believes that officials are acting with “urgency” to see Maliki replaced, and that there are several “very capable” leaders to replace Maliki, though he declined to name them.
The Obama Administration has made clear for over a month that it wants Maliki replaced, though the Iraqi parliament has struggled to agree on new officials. Having finally agreed on a new president today, Fuad Masum, the premiership is the next thing to settle on.
Yet Maliki insists he intends to remain the premier for a third term, and his State of Law bloc has yet to offer an alternative candidate, making it a struggle to find a new candidate who can get a majority.
Iraqi PM is going to resign or replaced, but the question is by who? Ahmad Chalabi or in reality to impose the divided Iraq to Iraqi people as Joe Biden wanted to be the new Iraq. caliphate the Saudis/Qatari barbarians and savages in one part, the other the kingdom of Barzani in north and sheei't in the middle. USG will do all and every unimaginable harm to this world to get what it is after, cooperation with fascism in Ukraine and Saudis/Qatari barbarians are the other.

'Maliki's name has jumped up a few rungs on the drone hit-list Brennan and O-boom-er
discuss in their Monday morning meetings at the White House water cooler.
Reminds me of when we got rid of Diem.
Washington has fallen out of love with its current puppet so it is looking for a new puppet. Oh! The burden of empire!
The thought never occurs to these fools that the US government has no business in that part of the world except for the self-imposed Israel burden (that no one would have the courage to suggest getting rid of), and saving careers of government employees and bureaucracy.
