5 More Cabinet Ministers Resign - Malaki's Cabinet At Half Strength

Iraq’s government has lost another 5 cabinet ministers bringing it to a total of 17 who are either boycotting or have resigned. That’s nearly half Maliki’s cabinet. Seems like it’s going to be a tough road to get anything done with half the ministers gone.

Meanwhile the violence has increased and more US and Iraq troops and civilians are dead. Political progress, something everyone agrees is key to ending the civil war in Iraq is at a standstill. The US puppet government is proving to be powerless to bring any semblance of unity to the country’s political landscape.

For those who keep track of such figures, a total of 3,682 U.S. soldiers have been killed since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
