Jaafari Has Got To Go!

Hehehe, why do I think Mr. Jaafari is going to listen to this lowly blogger? Hehehehe, he can ignore me but not so easily can he ignore A senior representative of SCIRI and confidant of Ayatollah Sistani...
"I call on Jaafari to step down as nominee for prime minister because ... the candidate ought to secure a national consensus from other lists and also international acceptance..." [al-Saghir] said he was speaking not for SCIRI but for himself. But he made clear the party's position was now against Jaafari: "This is just the beginning and the other calls will follow... It has been 50 days and the Alliance has not succeeded in defusing the objections his nomination faced... This has threatened to foster new blocs that would hamper the Alliance's leadership of the political process."

Mr. Jaafari has had four months to form a government, no doubt there is a lot of trouble between the three factions but he should have done it.
