Its been like seven months since Iraqi election, by all rights, Allawi should have been Iraqi
PM as the winner by a narrow margin, 91 to 89 assembly seats.
Mean while Maliki has refused to give up. As a result, Iraqi has no real PM for seven months But now quite a number of seats have changed alleagance and go from the Allawi camp to the Maliki camp. Which should end the dispute and Iraq will have a PM.

Of course the minor problem for the USA, is that Maliki will now owe his political viability to
the anti-American cleric Al-Sadr. How that changes Iraqi government policy remains to be seen as the USA is still far from a final withdrawal. My other comment is this will not be good news for Al-Quida, who have been stepping up their activity in Iraq recently, because Shia leadership has no use for Al-Quida and vise versa.
