IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME ... LEADER OF IRAQ CALLS "EMERGENCY SUMMIT"

Geez, what did we have to do? Hit this guy over the head with a 40 oz. clue stick to make him realize he has a big, fucking problem on his hands?


Iraqi PM calls for crisis summit

Iraq's Prime Minister, Nouri Maliki, has called for a summit of the nation's main political factions in an attempt to break Iraq's political paralysis.

In recent weeks almost all Sunni members of the cabinet have quit. Others are boycotting meetings, leaving at least 17 cabinet seats empty.

Many of them have accused Mr Maliki of sidelining them.

A BBC correspondent says the crisis is worrying for the US, which wants to see progress before withdrawing troops.

"I have called the political leaders for a meeting to discuss the main issues in the political process. The first meeting may happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," Mr Maliki announced on Sunday.
