The new Interior Minister of Iraq is going to be chosen from a short-list of 3 nominees from the independent politicians in the UIA, likewise, the Defence Minister will be chosen from a short-list of 3 nominees from Iraq's Sunni Arab politicians.
The good news is that this rules out any chance of Iraq's MOI going to either Da'wa, SCIRI, or the Sadr Movement. Hopefully its going to be a non-sectarian Shia...one that doesn't put up with Death Squads and units that run secret prisons which (with the help of Iranian agents) terrorize the local population.
Within the next few days, I think Noori Al-Maliki will announce the cabinet, and its going to be very interesting to see who takes the MoD and MoI, which are the most important seats on the cabinet (aside from PM of course).

Your Blog is Great but is getting difficult to load, you got to much media on it.
happy blogging.
I wonder if Mithal al-Alousi will be the man...
Though i dont completely believe this whole death sqaud farce, It's refreshing to see that MoD and MoI will be taken away from Al Dileymi and Solagh respectively. Anyways, good luck to the new government and, like you said, we pray that they give priority to Iraq - not shia, not sunna - IRAQ!
Cheers zappy, nice palm tree, i have 2 beautiful palm trees in my house in Najaf. You can just sit there and stare at them.
Manhattan I dont care who it is, as long as they put Iraq before their pockets and the sect they belong to.
Good luck to whoever it is and to the new government. They will all have a helluva tough time ahead of them.
