So, the Iraqi Constitution is almost finished (the White House must be fuming it isn't yet -- what are they doing over there?? Sitting on their thumbs!?) but important details remain to be hammered.

Mostly over federalism (are we gonna have 3 Iraqs?) and who has more power and/or control over the country and its immense riches.

Will they be able to come to an agreement in 3 days? Yes, if the White House presses hard enough. After all, they need to show the public that something good is happening over there, not just more American military deaths.

We'll see...

One thing is certain, there is a big risk Iraq will turn into a subsidiary or a clone of Iran. And that would be disastrous... for everyone.
