From Nidal: "Look who is not “hindering the political process” in Iraq… It's only natural that John Kerry know who the “Iraqis wanted as the next prime minister”:
“Al-Abadi was nominated after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry pulled support from Maliki and several countries prepared to deliver arms to Kurdish fighters battling Islamic State. Kerry said the U.S. was backing Masoum and told Maliki not to hinder the political process, saying he wasn’t even among the three candidates Iraqis wanted as the next prime minister.”"
