Iraq Parliament Votes to Oust Speaker

[zimbu]

BAGHDAD June 11--- Iraq's (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/countries/iraq.html?nav=el) parliament voted today to oust its speaker, Mahmoud Mashhadani, a day after one of his bodyguards allegedly roughed up another lawmaker, legislators said.
The parliament voted 113 to 55, with 107 members absent, to remove Mashhadani, a Sunni Arab, from his post, said an adviser to deputy speaker Khalid al Attiyah. The resolution placed Mashhadani -- who took the helm of the 275-member body last year -- on leave, in order to select a replacement who some legislators hope will be a less polarizing and combative presence

I, for one, am happy that they actually voted on something, took action on it, and it didn't involve a vacation !!!!

I would like to know how we can apply this fine example to our own Congress and oust our resident Speaker

Very simple.. Pelosi would have to sock a repulican in the throat which would call for a vote which would consequently result in her removal... :lmao:

I am amazed that this is garnering as little attention from the masses here.

This is huge!!!!

This is the position who has the power to force the parliment to get into gear. He is the man reponsible for making sure that laws get discussed and passed. We need to make sure that a very motivated individual gets placed into this position so we can see what the term progress really means!!!

If Allawali ereally has the best interests of the Iraqi people in his heart he should step up and fill this position.

With his influence we could see the negotiatioin and passage of ALL the major articles and resolutions that need to be taken care of. This is all just my humble opinion but we all know that Bush can get little to nothing done unless he has the congress and the senate push it through.

Am I the only one seeing this here??????
