One more thing for "you-know-who" to add to his resume as a major achievement.

Maliki is on sound constitutional ground. The President refused to follow the Iraqi constitution.
“Article (68): 1st - The Council of Representatives selects from among the candidates a president of the republic by a two-thirds majority.
2nd - If no single candidate gets the required majority, the two candidates with the highest votes will compete and whoever wins a majority of votes in the second round is declared president of the republic. “
So the ‘coup’ is by the Iraqi president-backed by Obama no doubt.
LOL!

A coup is when person in power is ousted.
Maliki is already in power, what he did is to consolidate
his power. It is anti-coup.

And if al-Maliki really arrests the new president (a Kurd) as threatened, that may indeed be the excuse the Kurds need to head for the exits. There's no whey the Kurds will take this.

Yes, it’s another stunning foreign affairs triumph for the Obama administration.
We should live out the week, but surviving his second term is anyone’s guess.

Cue the “we’ve left behind a free and stable Iraq” video.

In the wake of the coup, when ISIS rolls in aboard captured US supplied equipment, we can watch people being evacuated from what's currently the most expensive and secure US embassy in the world.
Now, why does that sound familiar??
