Support Eroding For Iraqi Leader

That's the headline to this Washington Times article, written by Mariam Karouny. Here's the heart of the article:
The move against Mr. al-Jaafari, declared publicly by one leader and echoed, anonymously, by others, came as parties held their latest round of talks on a grand coalition with Kurds and Sunnis. Kurds and Sunnis remain adamant in their rejection of Mr. al-Jaafari. A U.S. diplomat reiterated it was Washington's "analysis" that Mr. al-Jaafari had not scored well on two key criteria for prime minister, his ability to unite Iraqis and his competence as a leader.
This is the beginning of the end for al-Jaafari. When the majority party, which was the last supportive bloc, wants to dump you, you're toast. The dignified thing for al-Jaafari to do is to announce his resignation, effective immediately. Whether he does that remains to be seen.

Let's hope he does for the good of the Iraqi people.
