newbieDA: note: The meeting felt the importance of the completion of key legislation, including the National Guard and the Federal Court and national reconciliation laws.

chattels: the three Presidents have no power without the support of the Parliament and Judiciary, IMO

newbieDA: they want the Federal Court Act done
newbieDA: and Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jubouri is right there
newbieDA: that how I got the idea

chattels: too many people expect that the Prime Minister and / or President have some far reaching executive power akin to the American form of government, IMO

newbieDA: nope its parliamentary government, I agree chattels, it has to go through parliament

BOBBY: Chattels. ....... Shabibi has it covered. lol

chattels: ‹@newbieDA› I am with you, but the general statement as to importance does not tell us how, when, etc.

newbieDA: I just am just looking forward to some basic info and order, its all good
newbieDA: thats a good article there on some idea of what to look forward too

newbieDA: oh way too much, they should be like kuwait right now, then dubia after the facts

chattels: ‹@newbieDA› the public / vocal support of the clerics is certainly part of the explanation

BOBBY: i think Abadi is keeping his cards close to the chest so to speak

TxBrand: who is Jewish in here ? anyone ?

star diamond: Why do u ask that for txbrand???????????

chattels: The last Shmita year began on Rosh Hashanah in September 2014, corresponding to the Hebrew calendar year 5775. The 50th year of the land, which is also a Shabbat of the land, is called "Yovel" in Hebrew, which is the origin of the Latin term "Jubilee", also meaning 50th.

chattels: The sabbath year (shmita Hebrew: literally "release") also called the sabbatical year or sheviit (Hebrew: ‎, literally "seventh") is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah for the Land of Israel,[1] and still observed in contemporary Judaism.

chattels: During shmita, the land is left to lie fallow and all agricultural activity, including plowing, planting, pruning and harvesting, is forbidden by halakha (Jewish law). Other cultivation techniques (such as watering, fertilizing, weeding, spraying, trimming and mowing) may be performed as a preventative measure only, not to improve the growth of trees or other plants.

Additionally, any fruits which grow of their own accord are deemed hefker (ownerless) and may be picked by anyone. A variety of laws also apply to the sale, consumption and disposal of shmita produce. All debts, except those of foreigners, were to be remitted.

chattels: Chapter 25 of the Book of Leviticus promises bountiful harvests to those who observe the shmita, and describes its observance as a test of religious faith. There is little notice of the observance of this year in Biblical history and it appears to have been much neglected.  chattels: http://ift.tt/1Jyw3gP...

chattels: " .......... the importance of the completion of key legislation, including the National Guard and the Federal Court and national reconciliation laws. "

OOTW: oh boy....constitution shmonstitution
OOTW: which reforms in alignment with the constitution?
OOTW: there are too many to list
OOTW: and to discern if the constitution addresses them all

chattels: ‹@OOTW› We may have to await judicial action on any appeal(s) - there is at least one now filed by the Minister of Human Affairs

OOTW: yes and many announcements today from the SJC site - all indicating "cool your jets, we're working on the issues"

TxBrand: ‹@star diamond› im watching Jonathan Cahn ... but he answered my question

TxBrand: this is the last one http://www.youtube.com/watch ..there are 2 more youtubes before this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AdrF4fmaRo

chattels: ‹@OOTW› The ultimate question may be whether the reforms can be accomplished timely / efficiently before the populace loses patience of the demonstrations are subverted by more nefarious interests, eh ?

chattels: of = or

OOTW: subverted - in what way were you thinking pertaining to "nefarious"?
OOTW: Iraq = Nefarious
OOTW: lol
OOTW: lol

chattels: ‹@OOTW› thinking more third party agendas, e.g., Iran / Maliki :)

OOTW: ah ok, well i do think Iran definitely still has a strong grasp on Iraq

TxBrand: what is wicked?

chattels: Both the GOI and the Kurds use Iran and in turn are used by Iran - at the end of the day who will prevail and to what end ?

chattels: ‹@OOTW› the term " realpolitik " comes to mind - " Realpolitik " (from German: real "realistic", "practical", or "actual"; and Politik "politics", German pronunciation: [ʁeˈaːlpoliˌtɪk]) is politics or diplomacy based primarily on power and on practical and material factors and considerations, rather than explicit ideological notions or moral or ethical premises.

OOTW: lol..well, I think there's no such thing as either of those states, in one form or another, right now....i expect the three presidencies to soon be pulling rank in some fashion, and may well fall outside either of those definitions

OOTW: we shall see....eventually

chattels: ‹@OOTW› " no such thing as either of those states "????

chattels: head of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq Ammar al-Hakim renewed his support for the reform process carried out by the executive, legislative and judicial authorities.

BGG: That is for sure a "biggie"

Loop: Lot's a articles in this today. The People want Mahmoud gone.

BGG: For anyone not understanding - once Medhat al-Mahmoud is gone - Maliki has ZERO fall back position. It's really, really bad news for the Shia/thug/hardliners...

BGG: these protests asking for Medhat's removal are a big deal - I guess maybe the biggest deal of the day.

BGG: I have a neat article in a minute - but this is NEWS (for sure).

mydinar100: Why is just a dozen protesters a big deal. Why not more?

BGG mydinar100: "Dozens"...
BGG mydinar100: 36 is plenty..
BGG mydinar100: and - I am not sure this isn't "cover" for Abadi to remove Medat all on his own.
BGG mydinar100: He has a lot of "organic" support - it wouldn't be hard to "gin some up" as well...

BGG mydinar100: and quite honestly - as long as it goes against Maliki - I care very little if it is "authentic" or "manufactured"...

BGG mydinar100: like they used to say - it's so close to the real thing - it might as well be a good shot.

BGG Loop: Thanks so much for that - and all your contributions to the News Forum.

Loop: Welcome. It is my pleasure to help where I can.

BGG: Here is a GREAT ARTICLE...
BGG: from Reuters

_firefly_: According to the 1st set of reforms that was passed, it gives Abadi the power to remove ANYBODY he chooses

BGG _firefly_: As I understand it - yes...

BGG _firefly_: Meet the man trying to bring Iraq back from the brink

BGG: On August 16, an Iraqi parliamentary report named Iraq’s former prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, among dozens of officials responsible for the collapse of security forces and the fall of Mosul to Islamic State militants last summer.

 In his eight years as premier, corruption thrived and Maliki repeatedly purged the Iraqi security forces of those he suspected of disloyalty.

 Iraqis now hope that Maliki and other officials will stand trial and be held to account for why militants were able to capture the northern city with so little resistance. (Maliki dismissed the parliamentary investigation as “worthless,” and he blamed Mosul’s fall on a conspiracy by Turkish and Kurdish leaders.)

BGG: This is MAINSTREAM - Iraqis now hope that Maliki and other officials will stand trial and be held to account for why militants were able to capture the northern city with so little resistance. (Maliki dismissed the parliamentary investigation as “worthless,” and he blamed Mosul’s fall on a conspiracy by Turkish and Kurdish leaders.)

BGG: they (many Iraqi's) are hopeful (we should be too...) he will stand trial...

BGG: Maliki blaming ISIS and the fall of Mosul on Erbil and Turkey is a "crack head, racially incendiary commentary" almost everyone doesn't like it - even the Shias it worked on for a while...

BGG: At the same time, Maliki is poised to lose his ceremonial post as one of Iraq’s three vice presidents under a series of reforms that the current prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, is trying to enact.

After weeks of popular protests in Baghdad and other cities against corruption and the government’s failure to provide basic services, Abadi sought to reform Iraq’s political system by eliminating several high-level positions, reigning in government spending and removing sectarian quotas in political appointments.

Most prominently, Abadi s****ped the posts of the three vice presidents and three deputy prime ministers. The positions were largely symbolic but included large budgets that allowed these officials to reward their supporters with patronage jobs.

While several other politicians lost their positions, Abadi’s measures were intended to detach his rival Maliki from the power structure in Iraq.

BGG: Or probably already has "lost his position"...
BGG: obvious what Abadi's point to the whole thing is...

BGG: further - there is NO WAY the WB/IMF will let this get overturned - Abadi will get worldwide support for this...

BGG: it shows the very character of the struggle going on in Iraq RIGHT NOW.

BGG: But Maliki is a survivor, and it’s a mistake to count him out of Iraq’s intricate politics because he is losing his post as vice president and he faces a potential trial. Maliki still has a base of support among some Shi’ite factions and militias that view Abadi as weak and too eager to offer concessions to Iraq’s Sunni minority.

Since he was forced out of office last year, Maliki has become a champion of the mainly Shi’ite volunteers and militias that are leading the fight against Islamic State under the banner of “popular mobilization units.”

Many of these volunteers answered a call to arms by Iraq’s top Shi’ite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, urging all able-bodied Iraqi men to join the security forces and stop Islamic State’s advance after Mosul’s fall. Tens of thousands of Shi’ite volunteers showed up at recruiting centers to sign up for the Iraq security forces, or the militias.

BGG: Here's where I deviate from the author (though I like the backdrop for this piece)...
BGG: I don't think Maliki will survive this onslaught...
BGG: AND
BGG: I think if anyone can "dethrone" Maliki from in front of the PMU - IT'S SISTANI!!

BGG: Who has proven recently he's not on Iran's side - OR MALIKI'S... he wants things better for the people. He's the driving force behind the support Abadi has and is the catalyst for these reforms!!

BGG: Abadi has tried to overhaul the Iraqi military and security forces, which are under his control. Last year, he announced that an initial investigation had uncovered 55,000 “ghost soldiers” in the army — nonexistent troops who were on the government’s payroll and whose salaries were collected by corrupt officers.

Abadi is now expanding his anti-corruption drive to eliminating patronage jobs and other perks provided to many government officials, including large security details.

 But Abadi risks a backlash from other power centers in Iraq, including some of the Shi’ite parties connected to militias and within the ranks of his own Dawa Party, a Shi’ite Islamist group where Maliki still has strong support.

BGG: Again - another point I take some issue with is...

BGG: Abadi is getting more support from the "interior" of the Dawa Party than this writer gives credit for - there is a genuine split there and this is good. Further –

I suspect as things get "dicier" there will be more Dawa defectors to the Abadi side... (than there already have been)...

BGG: Even as Maliki tries to undermine him, Abadi needs to assure Iraq’s Sunnis that he will be able to reverse the legacy of his divisive and sectarian predecessor.

Since Abadi took office last September, Sunni political leaders have made several demands: amnesty for tens of thousands of Sunnis imprisoned — in many cases without judicial review — by Maliki’s regime in the name of fighting terrorism; greater power in the new government;

an end to aerial bombardment of Sunni towns; and a more significant role in the Iraqi security forces, which Maliki cleansed of many senior Sunni officers.

Abadi has responded to some of these demands, releasing prisoners and ordering an end to the Iraqi air force bombings of Sunni areas. But for the most part, the Shi’ite militias are outside his control.

 Many Sunnis cringe at the memories evoked by the reestablishment of Shi’ite militias. These groups carried out widespread kidnappings, torture and killing of Sunnis during the sectarian war that raged in

BGG: Iraq from 2005 through 2008.

BGG: Here is where the National Guard Law comes into play - both allowing for more integration of "National forces" and bringing these militias under the control and authority of Baghdad. Not reporting directly to Maliki or some other "pseudo War Lord"...

BGG: Many of the Shi’ite militias depend on Iran for weapons, funding and training. Since Islamic State militants swept through northern Iraq last year, Tehran has mobilized to protect the Shi’ite-led Iraqi government from the jihadist threat.

General Qassim Suleimani, commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, traveled to Baghdad at the start of the crisis to coordinate the defense of the capital with Iraqi politicians and military officials.

Suleimani also directed Iranian-trained Shi’ite militias — including the Badr Brigade and the League of the Righteous, two notorious militias responsible for atrocities against Sunnis — in the fight against Islamic State.

When the United States invaded in 2003, Shi’ites made up nearly two-thirds of Iraq’s population of 25 million. But members of the Sunni minority had ruled Iraq since its independence in 1932. The Shi’ites had waited seven decades for their chance to rule, and it’s not surprising that they would...

BGG: ....consolidate power after the American invasion. But Maliki and other leaders manipulated a dysfunctional political system, put in place by the United States and the United Nations after 2003, to concentrate power and exclude Sunnis.

BGG: and when that didn't work Maliki just started shelling Sunni neighborhoods in Anbar... he caused a whole "electorate migration" which nearly swung the elections in his favor...

BGG: however, even such brutal tactics didn't work. He still didn't win - but he was close...

BGG: As Maliki struggled to remain in power, he became more dependent on Iran, which is the dominant external power in Iraq. Maliki was a reliable ally who allowed Iranian flights over Iraqi territory to transport weapons and manpower to Bashar Assad’s regime in Syria. Maliki also paved the way for thousands of Iraqi Shi’ites to cross the border and fight alongside the Syrian regime.

Abadi inherited this sectarian and dysfunctional political system. He must unify a fractured Iraq, by assuring Sunnis that the central government will protect their interests, while keeping rivals like Maliki in check. Abadi must also ensure that his predecessor stands trial for his corruption and the failures that helped empower Sunni extremists — and led to the catastrophe that has unfolded in Iraq.

BGG: In summation - "Abadi must also ensure that his predecessor stands trial for his corruption and the failures that helped empower Sunni extremists — and led to the catastrophe that has unfolded in Iraq".

BGG: That is the way to end it...
BGG: How does this help us??

BGG: first - with Maliki, Mahmoud and Alak gone - the true obstruction is gone and the door for Monetary and Economic reform (both critical to Iraq's very survival) is wide open!!

_firefly_: Ewwwww ........... Abadi constitute special committees to open the Central Bank of files .. and the issue of the dismissal of the former province Shabibi! 08/31/2015 14:1

BGG: just that they are looking into the "Kangaroo Court" proceedings... maybe not that they are looking into him...

diane1: IF alak is gone who now will take over the CBI, but glad to see Alak is gone

BGG: almost ANYONE is better than him... numerous OP ED pieces out about his lack of qualifications...

BGG: if accurate, what purpose does he serve there??

dale: Where does the International Court play into this picture trying Maliki instead of being tried in the Iraqi courts?

BGG: Once his non-immunity is established, then I suspect they will be handling his "crimes against humanity" issues - for instance - the Halabja massacre, the Camp Liberty massacre and maybe even some liability for the Speicher camp massacre... there are numerous things they will have to deal with...

BGG: but I am unsure whether they will allow Iraq a shot at him over the corruption and malfeasance in government.

rcookie: Abbadi formed special committees to open files of the Central Bank. The issue of the dismissal of the former county of Sinan Al-Shabibi! Date: Monday, 31-08-15 02:19 pm Worth Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abbadi, a heavy legacy of corruption and corrupt people piled up during the reign of his predecessor, Nouri al-Maliki, making way for reforms is filled with obstacles and mines.

And observers to Iraq shows concern about the seriousness of the files you accept Abadi to open, which is linked to very serious mafia seized workshops during the eight years ago during the reign of Al-Maliki, and its predecessors, called for Al-Abbadi to handle it with caution.

Ministers said that "Al-Abadi said during the last meeting of the Council of Ministers was proceeding with reform and confront the spoilers at all costs", stating that "very serious and files linked to Mafia leaders of militias."

He said the Minister, who did not publish his name, "Al-Ibadi form special committees to open files of the Central Bank, Sinan Al-Shabibi sacked former County, and marred by charges of him by mafia corruption that dominated in that period.

 He added that "the commissions also opened a file property of the State and sold and acquired by the forces of political and partisan force in previous Governments, and open the file of oil licenses and marred by charges of corruption and deal with international oil companies."

 He stressed that "these files are the most dangerous in the country, and the file is dangerous to the draft reform, Abbadi had personally confronted Al-Abbadi, unexpected reactions by those files wemaviathm"

SORRY, THE PAGE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR WAS NOT FOUND.  BAD LINK SORRY

BGG: WOW - that's some good stuff there!!
BGG: That seems - while mentioning the CBI - that it is more about a "broad based" corruption probe. Nice that it points out "looking into the Shabibi accusations"... GREAT!!

rcookie: and the oil licenses

BGG: slightly different translation of an excerpt of the same article -

BGG: "explained the minister, who preferred not to be named, said:" Abadi form special committees to open the Central Bank of files, and the issue of the dismissal of the former province Shabibi, and the like of the charges brought against him by the mafias of corruption that seized power in that period.

BGG: Which is a "DOUBLE WOW"...
BGG: the reason being - it is the very CORE of why we are still here.

rcookie: and committee to reassure that the entire Shabibi charges ...investigation and outcome has the same review standards applied to it that all the other corruption cases do

BGG: fix that - this thing is over.

rcookie: I totally agree...and think Abadi wants to assure that the standard of review and outcome toward Shabibibi case is beyond reproach

BGG: Great point.

diane1: IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ECONOMIC REFORM AKA R/V DO THEY NEED TO VOTE IN A CBI, OR CAN THEY JUST APPOINT A CBI IN PLACE.

OR ARE THEY ABLE TO BRING BACK SHABBI WHICH I TRULY BELIEVE SHABBI DESERVES TO COME BACK BUT OF COURSE IT WOULD BE HIS CHOICE.

BUT I FOR ONE WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM COME BACK TO CBI AND FINISH WHAT HE STARTED

BGG: I highly doubt Shabibi comes back. JMHO - It would appear (especially since Alak is also an appointee) based on the context of these reforms, Abadi could replace Alak very quickly, potentially with only an agreement from the CoM.

Pablo: How long after M is gone will it be before an RV will take place?

BGG: Iraq needs value BAD!!
BGG: it can be quick...
BGG: Hey gang - Holly1 has an article - I just got a call, I have to run out immediately...

Baxter1243: Is the main problem with getting the Natl Guard law passed that the Kurds don't want baghdad controlling the Peshmarga

BGG: No - it's the Shias... (hardliners)

chattels: BAGHDAD, Iraq — Hundreds of Iraqis took to the streets in Baghdad on Monday to call for the country's chief justice to resign and the names of corrupt politicians and officials be made public. 
The demonstrators called on Medhat al-Mahmoud, head of the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council, to step down because he was appointed in by a political decision rather than elected.

Protesters chanted in support of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s reform agenda, which includes a plan to cut down the size of the government and rein in excessive spending.

 It was the fourth demonstration since reforms were announced by Abadi this month According to a statement by Abadi earlier this month, a committees to observe and monitor salaries for Iraqi officials are being formed. The proposal also includes reforms in taxation and the government revenue system.

 The upper limits of retired officials’ pensions are to be lowered and customs tariffs will be imposed at all border crossings, including into the Kurdistan region, the proposal states. Another initiative is to set up an Anti-Corruption Council and a campaign to tackle official graft. Transparency International ranked Iraq the fifth-most corrupt county in the world. chattels: http://ift.tt/1Ny5Ort...

chattels: BAGHDAD, Iraq – Fighting is still underway between Iraqi forces and ISIS for control of the critical refinery town of Baiji, with the the city's mayor describing the process as slow. “The military operation had been temporarily slowed for two weeks as army forces, the Hashd al-Shaabi [Popular Mobilization Units] and local police reorganized in order to restart their attacks,” Mayor Mohamad Mahmud, told Rudaw Arabic on Sunday. Baiji, located in Salahadin province roughly 210km from Baghdad, fell to ISIS in 2014. The city’s oil refinery is said to be the largest in Iraq and vital for the economy.

“A military operation is going on in Tal Jirad against Daesh elements, south of Baiji,” the mayor added, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.

The government has claimed victory in Baiji several times in the past months, but the reports have been unfounded. ISIS suicide attacks have halted the advances of Iraqi forces, according to reports. ISIS radicals attacked Hashd al-Shaabi forces in recent days, rigging 18 military vehicles with explosives, killing and wounding dozens of Iraqi forces.

 Reports that the Shiite militias, known as Hashd al-Shaabi, had withdrawn from Baiji and Anbar last week have been denied by the group’s commanders. Local media reported that Shiite militias’ alleged withdrawal from Iraq’s Anbar and Baiji was caused by the presence of US advisers in the area.

The pro-Iranian Shiite group, however, claimed that US forces have no role on the ground and that their forces will not withdraw from the battle.   chattels: http://ift.tt/1Ny5Ort...

chattels: ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Reports of tension between US forces and the Shiite militias known as the Hashd al-Shaabi, or Popular Mobilization Forces, escalated Saturday with some saying the dispute is stalling the war against the Islamic State.

Karim Nury, Hashd al-Shaabi deputy spokesman, on Saturday denied claims that the US government forced the Shiite fighters to retreat from Anbar province.

 “Retreat from Anbar means a collapse and handing over the province to the ISIS militants,” Nury said.

“American soldiers don't have the ability to control even a hand's width of Iraqi soil without the help of Iraqi tribes. The experience with Al-Qaeda proves this claim.”

 Also Saturday, Khalid Fahdawi, an Iraqi federal police officer in Anbar, told Rudaw that tensions between US forces and Hashd al-Shaabi east of the ISIS-held city of Ramadi had resulted in an exchange of hostile gestures.   chattels: http://ift.tt/1Ny5Ort...

chattels: While religious authorities in Najaf, including Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, have backed the demonstrations, Mamouri observes, “It was striking that Iranian official authorities and Iraqi parties known for their loyalty to Iran strongly opposed the popular protests,

 leveling numerous accusations against them and trying to stop them. It is noteworthy that pro-Iran Islamic parties dominating government were targeted by protesters because of their poor governing performance.

chattels: Mamouri adds, “The ongoing protests in Iraq have brought together religious, civilian, secularist, communist and other communities. They all seek to reform the system and eradicate corruption within the Iraqi government.

It seems that religious slogans and figures, especially Sistani, are exploited to attack the protests in order to create a rift between the protesters. …

The situation on the ground indicates that the Iranian or pro-Iran movements’ attacks and assaults on protesters by accusing them of being anti-religion, breaching religion or being affiliated to IS [Islamic State] aim to defend specific Islamist parties with regional alliances with Iran.

In light of the Iranian authorities’ explicit attack on the protests and Sistani’s support for them, conflict between the two camps on the way to deal with Iraqi affairs seems to loom in the horizon.

While Iran wants Iraq to be a key element in its regional camp against Saudi Arabia, Sistani wants to distance Iraq from the ongoing regional conflicts, as much as possible, to allow it to make independent decisions within the framework of an efficient and stable civil state.”

 chattels: Mustafa al-Kadhimi writes that despite the Iraqi parliament’s endorsement of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s reform package,

“The difficulty of this task lies not only in the lack of required professional and scientific experts to deal with the situation — especially in light of the major brain drain in all domains during the past decade — but also in the will of Iraqi politicians to adopt the philosophy of reform in the interest of unity and society.”

chattels: Kadhimi adds that implementation of Abadi’s reforms requires “serious and fair working groups” among parliamentarians and “shortcuts to bring about change on the ground.”

chattels: “Abadi can accelerate the implementation of the reforms by winning further support of the religious authorities, which have so far supported the reforms he decided on, and by obtaining the approval of the political blocs.

 It is worth mentioning that some reservations on these reforms were expressed by Vice President Ayad Allawi and Vice President Osama al-Nujaifi, who considered the reforms a violation of the constitution.

The government has major challenges to face in its implementation of reform measures, given the size of the problems in the state’s structure, disintegrating institutions, the confusion and inconsistency of laws and management’s instructions, and the deep-rooted corruption even in state regulatory systems,” Kadhimi writes.

chattels: Mohammed Salih writes that the Iraqi parliament’s ratification on Aug. 17, 2015, of a report that holds former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and more than 30 senior Iraqi officials responsible for the fall of Mosul may be a “litmus test” for Abadi’s reform initiative.

chattels: “In a country crippled by conflict, corruption and personal rivalries at the highest levels, if Abadi is serious about introducing a new approach to governance, the Mosul report could be used to his advantage to implement the desired reforms,” adds Salih.

chattels: “For now, it appears that Tehran is avoiding direct and overt involvement in the Shiite leadership dispute in Baghdad. Iran will likely maintain this posture until and unless the situation is seen as spiraling out of control, at which point it may choose to intervene to help forge a consensus.

Indeed, this has been the playbook in recent years. This, in turn, may cause the Shiite leadership in Baghdad to pre-emptively reach out to the grand ayatollah, who also seeks to avoid becoming too embroiled in factional politics.

In this waiting game, which could potentially turn explosive, the main victim may once again be ordinary Iraqis, who are mired not only in a war against IS in the trenches, but also corruption and factionalism at home.” Read more: http://ift.tt/1U6ADse...
