* juancole: "President Jalal Talabani called Sunday for Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari to step down.... Talabani may be throwing a fit. Someone will step in to mediate between him and Jaafari. Maybe they will patch it up temporarily. But the Kurds and the Shiites have broken. They will remember that. The only worse thing that could happen would be open warfare in the streets of Kirkuk between the largely Sunni Kurds and the Shiite Turkmen and Arabs." (link)
* 2 weeks till the iraqi constitutional referendum. but theres still no constitution. thats not great.
* wow. juancole has joined the party: "Personally, I'm not sure Zarqawi exists" (link)
* juancole also points out a new twist in the fact that the iraqi military has gone from 3 battalions down to one. they didnt lose 2 battalions - they lost 3, and grew one. i guess the good news is that *some* training is still going ahead.
* is juan cole calling for impeachment?
