The military may be making some sort of progress in Iraq, though I am not sure how they quantify this, but Iraq politics is dead. Yet another assassination of a governor by a roadside bomb indicates the depth of the civil war in Iraq. This marks the second assassination of a regional governor in the last two weeks. Couple this with the lackluster performance of the Iraqi Parliament and you have a country that has no rudder politically.
Mohammed Ali al-Hassani, governor of the southern Iraqi province of Muthanna died yesterday in what is seen as a growing conflict between militia and political factions. It’s not a sign of much stability, and another example of the deepening rift between rival Shiite factions, giving the whole affair a new dimension. Now Shiites are fighting each other.
Meanwhile the Parliament is on vacation. Are these guys taking lessons from Bush?
