[via PDK] Question: …No vote in Iraq yesterday for President why?
MarkZ: “Deadline for the Presidential election revealed” they sat down and had a big meeting yesterday then first thing this morning they came up with some BS. They gave themselves a deadline…even though they already had deadlines that were written in their constitution…but they gave themselves a new deadline of this Thursday. Lots of meetings still going on. Sudani has gone to Kurdistan to talk to Barzani about getting this thing finished. Once they finish seating the President they will announce candidates for Prime Minister. Sudani is still in the running. Many still feel that Maliki could be the one…lots of back and forth going on. They actually were working on HCL in some of the meetings today.
