Newshound Guru I have stated that I thought this would be over by the end of July
and have continued to think that up until very recently. The decisive factor IMO is the government being put
together and it becomes really obvious that Maliki is not a part of and the
coalition won. It continues to amaze me that the SOL
has not broke with Maliki choosing to destroy their own party. Anyway if you will allow me I would like to
change my prediction to within days of the parliament nominating a prime
minister which means it could take another week...once we
see a nominee announced in parliament, my guess is that starts the clock.
