Iraq
Iraq’s feuding politicians impervious to emerging calamity
2020-04-04
Typical. This is why they don’t have nice things.
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Two weeks ago, Iraqi President Barham Salih nominated Adnan al-Zurfi as prime minister-designate and tasked him with forming a Cabinet to be approved by parliament. This was the president’s latest effort to form a government after Adel Abdul Mahdi stepped down in November last year in the face of widespread public criticisms of his government’s failure to provide services to the people.

Al-Zurfi faces a daunting challenge. A former governor of Najaf province, he has dual US-Iraqi citizenship and has been associated with Iraq’s politics since the US invasion in 2003. He took a tough stand against the militia of Moqtada Tater al-Sadr
...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival al-Khoei assassinated shortly after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry...
 in 2004. He is the head of the Nasr parliamentary grouping that includes former Prime Minister Haider Abadi.

#1  If anybody started this to harm Trump, or hope this will put a (D) back in the White House, they better remember there will be a lot of collateral damage.

If all of the unstable countries in the world destabilize... well, the effect on Global Worming would be... horrific. Greta would be grief-stricken!
