Default Sunni bloc quits Iraqi Cabinet

Well it looks like this is the beginning of the end for the Iraqi government’s attempt to make Iraq a stable place while the Americans transition out. The sooner we leave the sooner they can have their civil war and the sooner it will be over. What a waist of American lives and money.

"Baghdad shook with bombings and political upheaval Wednesday as the largest Sunni Arab bloc quit the government and a suicide attacker blew up his fuel tanker in one of several attacks that claimed 142 lives nationwide.

The Iraqi Accordance Front's withdrawal from the Cabinet leaves only two Sunnis in the 40-member body, undermining Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's efforts to pull together rival factions and pass reconciliation laws the U.S. considers benchmarks that could lead to sectarian reconciliation."
