Iraq willing to walk away from deal with Bush Administration, expert says
Marc Lynch, a professor of International Affairs at the Elliot School of International Affairs, says that Nouri al-Maliki is in a very unusual political position in Iraq. Lynch says that the word being “bandied about” in the Iraqi and Arab press is the idea of a new mandate over Iraq, something Maliki “cannot live with.” Lynch says that Maliki has gotten a better understanding of what Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) position really is, and has become very comfortable with it. (1:45)
