8-19-2014 Newshound Guru Kaperoni The last few days certainly have been exciting...We
have seen the nomination of a new Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and a
surprising concession speech from Nuri al-Maliki…something quite frankly I am
still a bit skeptical about. In any case, it appears that within a few weeks, parliament will meet and formally
nominate and ratify the new government into office. Maliki at that time should
leave peacefully as he stated on television yesterday. [post 1 of 3....stay
