BREAKING: Military Coup Rocks Iraq
by Thomas Ferdousi • August 10, 2014
Iraq’s parliament just chose a new President who refused to rename Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki to a third term. Maliki declared the move unconstitutional and his own State of Law Party pulled support from him. Now his forces are seizing government buildings in Iraq, have closed the airport, and are surrounding the Green Zone.
His speech refusing to step down occurred at midnight and was followed by the military action.

Fear. Seems to be the only thing that pacifies them.
