In a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry stressed the importance of forming a unity government in Iraq but refused to commit to a timetable for creating one in the United States.
The sensitive topic of a unity government for the United States came at the end of a thirty-minute meeting, during which Secretary Kerry lectured the Iraqi Prime Minister about the value of a government “where people of different parties put aside their differences, make meaningful compromises, and work together for the good of the nation.”
Taking this in, al-Maliki agreed that it was an excellent idea and politely asked Secretary Kerry if the United States had ever considered forming such a government….

Same in Aus!
Brilliant as usual. The same question can be asked in all so called democratic countries of the world.
Well as big a pain in the ass as al-Maliki has been for the United States as well as Iraq, you gotta give him a big attaboy for that one! 😀
BAM!
A question that could certainly be asked in Britain where the Liberal Democrats and Labour have virtually no influence on Tory policy makers. Ditto Northern Ireland where constant sectarian squabbles mean important policy decisions are delayed for years. But at least Britain isn’t descending into a blood-spattered sectarian civil war.
That, of course, is the big difference.
spot on borowitz!
he should be in congress.
and with his little pen pin . . . stick it into some of those hot air balloons.
That is TOO funny!!!!
