    Smiling face-detection of regional source works in one of the international organizations of the United Nations, the United Nations Mission in Iraq, headed by Nikolai Mladenov chosing to grant a third term for incumbent Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.

    The source said the “smiling face” correspondent in Baghdad, “the perspective of the United Nations Mission in Iraq, headed by Mladenov chosing to convince political parties in Iraq to give Al-Maliki’s third term.”

    The source added that “the Mission has changed a lot in recent weeks after a series of meetings between representatives of the mission and the political figures close to Al-Maliki.”

    The source noted that “the work of the Mission in relation to political stability in Iraq is currently on the views of parties and how to bridge them and reassure critics of the survival of Al-Maliki in power, adding that the Mission’s position quite position approximates the u.s. Embassy in Baghdad.”

    IMO, that's all a smokescreen, UN holds no power to make decisions in the political arena inside Iraq.

    ripinsnort - I apologize for not getting to this sooner. It is not impossible to believe Vlad being out there "talking" up a position under the "auspices" of the UN. It would go a long way towards Russian interests - which I'm sure are not lost on him.

    Having said as much - It is JMHO both the UN and US have given up SIGNIFICANT influence in the region with the way we walked out. Again - JMHO
