BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Iraq has made “extremely disappointing” progress toward reconciling its warring sects, the U.S. ambassador said on Tuesday, just three weeks before he is due to present a pivotal report on Iraq to the U.S. Congress.
In some of the bluntest language used by a U.S. official toward Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s fractured coalition government, ambassador Ryan Crocker also warned that U.S. support for Maliki’s administration was not open-ended.
“Progress on national level issues has been extremely disappointing and frustrating to all concerned, to us, to Iraqis, to the Iraqi leadership itself,” Crocker said.
