Allawi is PM, Talabani is Pres and Maliki has a Newly Formed Position??

[RV4Me333]

I heard a rumor that Allawi was chosen as PM, Talabani is President and Maliki was given some newly formed position. Does anybody have any information to substantiate this or debunk it (other than believing or not believing it)?

I WILL BELIEVE IT WHEN I HEAR IT ON NATIONAL NEWS AND NOT ON A RUMOR SITE, SORRY

[kittycat]

That article was posted March 26, 2010.....and alot has happened since then, so I don't think the "rumor" is valid.

[reigny]

This is from the AP about an hour ago...

Still no confirmed winner...

[beau777]

Was this speculated or announced?

Such an occurrence would not be a matter of rumor but would grab headlines and media attention around the world. Let us hope it will BECOME true however and I doubt we would have to wait more than 1/2 day to find out when it becomes so.

Sounds like a rumor to me!

Beau777 - this is dated March 26, 2010! Old news!

[cgbrown]

Are we so anxious for RV that we keep dregging up old news to rehash over and over. Can't we pay attention to the dates on articles published in newspapers or online reports. Surely we can be more observant.

Dryden, I'd have to agree with you on that, and if it is true hooray for the Iraqi people as they really would prefer him above all the others that have been mentioned. One thing that has surprised me of lately though is the simple fact that Iraq has not been on the news much at all lately, other than the blood and dred stories, but nothing at all positive, I've been looking for articles while I was home, and nothing even on CNN, which to me is quite surprising seeing how we are in the midst of shutting our operations down there.

Not trying to tie this into the RV, but no news is good news? At least that's the way I'm seeing it.
