Why can't the Iraqis agree on a government?

#1 .com, great comments on a wholly vapid article. That said, time is not on the side of the Iraqi "government". They really need to form a government and get things rolling. The longer this goes on without a govt being put in place, the more cynical the people will become and the more attractive the resistance message will become. Get on with it folks!!!

#2 NPR is famed for similar tactics. When they can't find anyone to comment, they throw on a reporter or house-pundit.

#3 Id almost rather hear spin from a reporter than some BBC house pundit, preteding to be an objective expert.

Spin aside (and yup, theres plenty there) most of the facts ring true.

I heard (MSM again) that Allawi and the Sunni in the Assembly have joined forces. It really looks like Allawi is maneuvering well, and UIA is maneuvering poorly.
