On Vacation

Permanently.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's unity government plunged deeper into crisis on Monday when four secularist ministers withdrew from cabinet meetings, less than a week after the main Sunni Arab bloc quit.

A total of 17 ministers, nearly half of Maliki's cabinet, have now quit or are boycotting meetings at a time when he is under growing pressure from frustrated U.S. officials to make demonstrable progress in reconciling Iraq's warring sects.

Birth pangs. I really do not want to be around for potty training.
