Well. Guess we'll know by Monday or so. The reality is coming to a head. I suspect his cards have been on the table for a long time. If he has reached this point, why should they believe he will alter course.
Mahdi is probably a best choice regardless of what Jaafari may come out with. Mahdi is on the record for a secular government that will work for all Iraqi. Jaafari has proven he is not.
Plus a new face, with new chooses for the minitry posts will give them all a boost. Take the heat off their backs.
At any rate. Time to call it a day. Have a good Sunday.
