President Obama on Friday praise Iraq’s steps to form a new government as “one more marker in the the past of contemporary Iraq,” still as a long-overdue power-sharing agreement frayed from the outset.
Iraq’s new meeting open at last on Thursday, almost eight months after the country’s election, with associate re-electing Jalal Talabani as president. Mr. Talabani then formally chooses Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki for a second term in office, generous him 30 days to form a cabinet of ministers.
The session’s intended comity was marred, on the additional hand, when Mr. Maliki’s chief rival, Ayad Allawi, and his supporters walked out in grievance leaving the ultimate fate of the agreement unclear.
