8-14-2014 Newshound Guru Adam Montana

8-14-2014   Newshound Guru Adam Montana    Another important point - the new President of Iraq is a Kurd (Sunni), but the new choice for Prime Minister was chosen out of the same political party as Maliki. This is a strong indicator of exactly how powerful the Shiite clan is in Baghdad and in the government there, which begs the question...Will a new PM make a difference? After much research on the new choice for PM Haider Al-Abadi, I think it will. Although they are of the same political party, Haider Al-Abadi is a much different man than Maliki... Abadi appears to be more of a diplomat. He will be much more likely to reach across the aisle and compromise or even help the Kurds, and that's something that is desperately needed  right now.  So at this time, we wait a short 27 more days to see if Abadi can be successful in actually pushing Maliki out and forming a government.  [post 2 of 2]
