Iraq: Government Formation and Performance

Abstract

Elections in 2005 produced a permanent constitution and a broad-based but Shiite- led government that has been unable to reduce Sunni popular resentment and might be fragmenting. U.S. officials are urging Iraqi leaders to complete efforts to achieve national reconciliation; these efforts, a key part of the FY2007 supplemental appropriation (H.R. 1591) that was vetoed on May 1, 2007, have proceeded far more slowly than expected but are not at an impasse.
