So, I think I've seen enough onTwitter to tell me Maliki ain't resigning. He says we told him that he could form the government by July 1, which is such a bullshit interpretation of what we told him, it makes my head want to explode. I think we're seeing "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" play out here. We tried the diplomatic route...sort of, by sending ISIS into the Sunni territories, and knocking on the door of Baghdad to intimidate him into leaving. That has failed, so the next move, according to the book, is to try to assassinate him, so I would say we see ISIS move on Baghdad in the very near future before the Shiite militia is able to organize. If he survives that, we're looking at either civil war or Sunni secession. Barzani already talked about Kurdistan seceding again, today, and it would be in the Sunnis' interests to just secede and not try to fight a protracted civil war. We could be back to the Biden Plan, after all, and that wouldn't be all that bad. I don't think we'll see a change in currency until there is some political settlement, though, whether it be the 3 state solution or a new Maliki-free, non-sectarian government where peace and justice rains throughout the land. The good news is, things are at such a tipping point that a political solution can't be far off.
