...hospitals, not HMS control access in the second two years,” he wrote in an e-mailed statement. “Those policies are in flux and were prior to the AMSA survey.” Bhatt said he hoped the scorecard would prompt medical schools to implement more stringent policies. “Already this is creating quite a bit of noise in the medical community,” Bhatt said. “I think we’ll see some movement among medical schools on this policy in the next year...

Withdrawing support from Baghdad would prompt it to turn to Iran - even China might be willing to kick in a few billion if that could buy an edge in oil deals. Nor does there appear to be any plausible scenario for replacing al-Maliki. The days when a strongman regime might be able to contain Shi'ite aspirations are long gone: today's Iraqi army is predominantly Shi'ite, after all, and the Shi'ite street - answering to Sadr...
