Jaafari: I will go if parliament wants


Iraqi PM says he will stick to result of democratic process and reject any bargaining over it.


BAGHDAD - Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari, facing a growing chorus of calls for his resignation, reiterated Thursday his refusal to step aside - unless asked to do so by parliament.

"I will stick to the result of the democratic process and reject any bargaining over it," he told journalists, but added: "If parliament asks me to withdraw then I will."

Jaafari's nomination has been the chief obstacle to efforts to form a unity government over three months after landmark elections to choose the first full-term post-Saddam Hussein parliament.

"If parliament asks me to withdraw then I will."

Same old story he's been spouting. If Parliament votes him down he'll have no choice but to leave. Problem is Parliament won't vote on it. Now they'll follow the yellow brick road to Sistani and ask him what they should do like a bunch of scared school girls.

"OOhh what do we do we're afraid to make hard decisions."

Pathetic! :cool:

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber inside a Shi'ite mosque in Baghdad and another outside blew themselves up killing at least 40 people on Friday, police said.

The blasts also wounded 45 people. The mosque in northern Baghdad belonged to SCIRI, the most powerful party inside Iraq's ruling Shi'ite Alliance.

The attack came a day after a car bomb exploded near a Shi'ite shrine in the southern city of Najaf, killing at least 13 people.

Sectarian tensions have been running high since the bombing of a Shi'ite shrine on February 22 touched off reprisals and pushed Iraq to the brink of a sectarian civil war.

And a deadlock over the new Iraqi government four months after elections has left a political vacuum that has raised fears it will play into the hands of Arab Sunni insurgents and fuel communal tensions.

U.S. and Iraqi officials say spectacular suicide bombings in Iraq are part of a campaign by al Qaeda militant leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to draw majority Shi'ites into a full-blown sectarian conflict.

This will keep going on untill they get rid of Jaafari and fill the political vacum.

Be interesting to see what, if anything Sistani tells them.
I have read Sistani believes clerics shouldn't be involved in politics, that they should be above that, and only advise on a moral, and religious level.


Oh, and I agree.......they are pathetic.
