If Shabibi is truly innocent of corruption(which I believe to be true_) this would be a positive move. It may provide a paper trail leading back to Maliki and his cronies. It will also create a legal pathway for Shabibi to return to his post as governor of the CBI, once real evidence proves his innocence. I agree with bluesky and bostonangler, this doesn't look good for Maliki, and we may be seeing some big changes at the CBI.

I hope he doesn't have anything damaging on Abadi, my guess; he does not or we would have heard about it long ago. Maliki doesn't know when to "call it quits", he was safely in Iran and probably could have stayed. Abadi should turn the tables on Maliki and order him to turn over every piece of evidence he has on corruption or be held in contempt. Then show it to the people of Iraq, let them see what kind of leader Maliki was, someone who hid AND participated in corruption. Maliki's thought process is that of child; "if you tell on me I'm gonna tell on you".

That could be a causal factor among many, removing a dictator that was committing genocide was the main reason. In the meantime Obama leaves death and destruction in his wake, both here and abroad, i.e. Ferguson, Iraq etc. etc.

No matter how many facts and eye witness accounts, liberals will still stay that Iraq was a huge mistake, there were no WMD, etc and will blame George Bush until they die. They completely miss the fact that he had scores of intelligent military advisers assisting him and millions of people desperately needed help, and America (a group decision) responded to their cry. Obama destroyed a stable situation in Iraq by doing the exact opposite of what his military intelligence told him to do, which was to keep a peace keeping force behind. Obama is so drunk with power and his un-earned peace prize, that he ignores experts with years of military experience and does whatever he likes, the consequences in this case was birth or ISIS. Bottom line.. I would rather have a president that listens and works with his advisers, than one who ignores and fires them when they don't agree.

I like your logic, thanks Trinity

The only thing Iran is fearing is that they no longer have a puppet in Iraq.

That's uplifting, thanks K98.

Finally taking aggressive steps to evict the vermon. Thanks Thug

Geat News, Thanks Thug

Why does this not infuriate GOI? They should have sent an entire army to re-take Mosul long ago.

Agreed. I don't understand, they waited this long certainly they can wait some more, especially now that things are moving rapidly towards some kind of currency reform. I can just imagine how dreadful those folks are going to feel when this event does happen, If they are that upset now, they are going to freak the F-out when they see their impatience cost them a fortune.

Thanks Yota, MUCH APPRECIATED !!!

Better yet a federal sales tax (6% would collect more than our current income tax), that everybody(drug dealers, mafia, foreign visitors, etc) HAS to pay when you buy something.

Thanks Sandfly
