the council which is responsible for electing a new president has chosen ghazi yawar as iraq's new president, the tribal leader is well respected by all religious backgrounds in iraq and is well respected by all in principle.
but the US has choosen its own leader, adnan pachachi and is trying to lure the council to reconsider its selection in favor of pachachi.
a dead lock has now insued with the US possibly announcing a third candidate compromise.

One Iraqi politician said the Council felt Yawar could rally Iraq's disparate communities; Pachachi, many felt, represented a strain of the old-style pan-Arab nationalism also embraced by Saddam. Some also thought he did too little to oppose Saddam.

so, is the US trying to scratch the backs of the arab nation because of them helping bush in his presidential push over the oil fiasco.
good'ol interfering USA.......
