It's a great day in Iraq, too, as Iraq's Parliament confirmed Prime Minister al-Maliki's last three cabinet nominations: Abdul Qadir Muhammed Jasim, a Sunni Arab, was confirmed as the new Minister of Defense. Jawad al-Bolani, a Shiite, was confirmed for the Minister of Interior. The final position of state minister of national security was put in the hands of Sherwan al-Waily, also a Shiite. The top positions of defense and interior were filled by former generals, both under the former regime. Neither Jasim nor al-Bolani are said to not have any strong political ties to their respected ethnic parties |

While it is a good thing that they finally stopped didlling and named these people. But let us see how it plays out before we deicde this is a great day. Given the way Iraqi politicians are unable to work together, I am not expecting much progress. |
