15. I am not talking about the Maliki government cracking down on the militias
Edited on Sun Nov-19-06 02:51 AM by ECH1969
The Maliki government is totally weak and will not crack down on the militias or even the insurgents. Maliki in June stopped the Iraqi Army and US troops from cleaning out Ramadi. Maliki like Jaafari is a weak an indecisive man.

No, the whole point of this thread is if Allawi is able to coup the Maliki government with support of the Iraqi Army could he then shut down the militias. Allawi would be perfectly willing to reinstate the death sentance for deserters.

Its not too long ago America had the death sentance for deserters.
