Thanks, Ron. Yes, it sounds like they are getting the details worked out. Still, it doesn't mean that, once enacted, they will be able to actually accomplish anything. If the Council includes the Prime Minister and requires 80% approval on most issues and 100% on others, then Allawi won't be able to achieve anything that Maliki doesn't support. So what's the point? How could they ever get consensus to enact anything independently of Maliki? Or am I missing something?
