#2 Agreed. The slate system was imposed by the UN (as with anything else smelling like shit).

#3 I think a army general needs to slap this guy right upside his head to remind him it is not about him.

#4 the slate system was imposed by the UN with the support of Jerry Bremer and the CPA. One of the "mistakes"

In any case thats the problem now. SCIRI and Sistani clearly want Jaafari out - but a vote in parliament is problematic. If Kurds+Allawi+Sunnis+SCIRI easily outvotes Dawa+Sadr but that means breaking the UIA, and I dont think Sistani and SCIRI are quite ready to do that. Thats why they want to pressure Jaafari to go quiety (and i presume there are carrots being offered as well, behind the scenes) but he either isnt biting, or is holding out for more goodies than theyll give.

#6 He may get a Darwin honorable mention for taking too long to accept an offer he can't refuse.

#7 Until this guy steps aside... and it doesnt look like he will, there will be no unity government in Iraq. This is bad.
