Hopefully it's just smoke & mirrors.

Yes, and if the High Court had done its job June 1st rather than caving in to al-Maliki this would already be done. They seem to either be lying or thumbing their noses ... who knows.

We will see next week.

Well Doc31, it does boil down to a "make it" or "break it" next week for Iraq. I am for the "make it" and move on approach, however, based on past performances of the failed attempts, all we can do is keep them in our prayers and wish for the best. My heart goes out to all of the Iraq citizens that are getting left behind in the chaos that is being created. I will (let's all do this) pray extra hard between now and then for them. God Bless all who has invested in this country and lets hope this is the beginning of the end.
