Update: We Again Failed To Support Allawi For Maliki
Al-Mada claimed that a plan by Iyad 'Allawi to withdraw his bloc’s ministers from the government was botched when he learned that the ministers in question will refuse to leave their cabinet seats.

The newspaper alleged that 'Adnan al-Bajaji, a senior member of 'Allawi’s Iraqiya coalition, came to Baghdad to announce the withdrawal of the coalition from the cabinet, but was forced to postpone the announcement fearing non-compliance from his ministers.

Al-Mada and Az-Zaman reported over the last few days that 'Allawi’s plan is to announce the creation of a new major alliance in the Iraqi parliament (seeking to topple al-Maliki’s cabinet) in parallel with his coalition’s withdrawal from al-Maliki’s government.

The State Department has made it clear to the world that we will stand by Maliki (right or wrong) because there is no promise that a new government would be any better and only be more costly in time to get up and running....

The problem for us is that Maliki and his people know this and you can see that by their going back on the agreement with the Kurds and Sunnis at the President Council Meeting last week...

End Result

Further delays and inaction as Maliki's supporters laugh at the proposed benchmarks, little alone meeting them.
