"Allawi is still in the running for a position like the Interior Ministery, it depends on what happens in the next couple weeks."
Understand. But it just seems like he has to many strikes against him. All that oppose can point to anything he did as PM that went bad. But as usual I hope he can make a come back. Better to have an ex Baathist who realizes how evil things can get and attempt to avoid such pitfuls then someone fresh into the game of politics and leadership. Iraq needs stability if it is to exists as a Federation per it's constitution. Surely Allawi has the maturity to not play games at this point. Perhaps the interior ministry is more important then any other position, as it is here the Iraqi economy and future must be established. The military posts is ultimately under guidance of the president, and as long as the US is in situ, things can be worked out, but the Iraqi affairs of state appear to full strongly on the IM, which of course would also be able to influence the DM and PM on many issues. So I can see where some are still hoping Allawi has a chance at the post.
