Baghdad (NINA) Law maker from Iraqiya Slate, Yaseen al-Ubaidi, said that there is a unanimity between Iraqiya, State of Law and Kurdish Alliance blocs over the Iraqiya's nominee for the post of Defence Minister, Ali Salem Dalli.

Ubaidi told NINA on Friday, May 6, "There is unanimity on the Iraqiya's nominee for the post of Defence Minister, Ali Salem Dalli, and this will be a way out to the security ministries' crisis."

He added, "Nominees presented by the Prime Minister to fulfill posts of security ministers are not acceptable, he has put Iraqiya's nominee to be voted on."

Iraqiya Slate presented four names as nominees to choose one of them to become Defence Minister; they are: Salem Dalli, Faseeh al-Ani, Hesham al-Darraji and Manal Tabreh. / End.

Now the $100 question is will maliki go along with the consensus of the 3 groups. He presented who he wanted and everyone else showed him the middle finger. If he does not agree the security situation will only get worse. Plus the 100 days are up and either he has to put up or go home.

[Rushman]

This + what has been coming out lately will make for a great chat wednesday night. (assuming we make it to wednesday) please dont screw this up maliki!!

[lionfish]

Let's all hope that we don't make it to Wednesday chat!!!! Except for maybe where the best place is to turn in our wallpaper(I mean dinar).

COME ON RV!!

I wish we had boots on the ground that could shed some light on just what is left on the security positions.

I agree, this could be really great! Maliki could help himself by cooperating.

[Tropics]

That is not what the article said and they have not voted. They are still searching for a defense minister.

[aferriss]

Sounds like the nominee for Defense Minister is a good choice and seemingly everyone is happy...now hopefully Maliki will go along with it and stop being a big dork and thorn in everyone's side.

[HYDRANT]

WHEN THE BIG HEADLINES COME OUT THEN WE CAN SAY YA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUT FOR NOW WE WAIT FOR THE BIG NEWSTHAT THEY ARE ACCEPTED AND SEATED

[keylime]

Agreement by all...........WOW!!

Well if finally Maliki's State of Law Coalition and the Iraqiya are in agreement. This SHOULD be a DONE DEAL.

The Iraqiya List is Allawi's party, and the Kurdish Alliance is...well.. the Kurdish Alliance. Is the "State of Law" the same thing as Maliki's National Alliance. If so, we now have a Minister of Defense in Salem Dalli. And you know what, the "guru" Steve1 (or is it SteveI?) from DD mentioned this guy's name as the Minister Defense some 2-3 (or possibly more) weeks ago. If this turns out to be true, I believe there is at least one "guru" who has real intel. Way to go, Steve1! Oh, and way to go, GOI!!!! Now we only need to hear a similar agreement about the Ministers of Interior and National Security.
