Piece Description
Every week you hear us say that Iraq still has yet to form a working government. The parliamentary elections were in March, but the process has stretched on for three, four, and now FIVE months. The election results were close, and the biggest parties continue to wrangle over who will be the Speaker of the Council, President, and Prime Minister. Amandine Lee brings us more on the causes behind the parliamentary deadlock, prospects for the future, and the frustration of the Iraqi public about the process.This piece was featured in "Unfinished Business" on 8/6/2010.
