New Iraqi Cabinet to Be Presented Saturday
Wednesday, May 17, 2006
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Prime Minister-designate Nouri al-Maliki will present his Cabinet to parliament on Saturday, signaling a possible end to months of uncertainty after legislative elections, Shiite and Sunni deputies said.
Al-Maliki "will present his government to the presidency today, and the presidency will refer it tomorrow to the parliamentary council," Deputy Speaker Khalid al-Atiya, a Shiite, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
"On Saturday, the parliament will convene to vote on each of al-Maliki's nominees and the government's program."
Adnan al-Dulaimi, head of the Sunni Arab Accordance Front said parliament "would be convened on Saturday to vote on al-Maliki's government." The makeup of the Cabinet was not released.
Al-Dulaimi said he did not know what decision had been made regarding the Defense and Interior ministries.

I am sure this will get wide coverage by the MSM!/sarcasm alert!
Anybody else wonder why the "civil war" talk has subsided in the press?
In case anyone missed it, I'll repeat what "democratic strategist" Mary Ann Marsh said the other day,
"Bush giving a speech, is like having an election in Iraq, it doesn't mean anything".
Well, I'm sure the MSM will echo John Kerry's words on the day after the wildly successful first post-Saddam election in Iraq: "Well, I wouldn't read too much into this."
Oh don't be so naive. The Iraqis just did this because Bush ordered it to distract us from his declining poll numbers. /s
Excellent news.
Viva Bush bump
