About this listen

"I am not backing down." That's what a defiant Nouri Al Maliki had to say, after the US objected to his return as Iraq's prime minister. Washington has set a Friday deadline for him to pullout. But what if he doesn't? And what would the implications be for Iraq?

In this episode:

  • Muhanad Seloom, assistant professor at Doha Institute for Graduate Studies
  • Ahmed Rushdi, president of the House of Iraqi Expertise Foundation
  • Kenneth Katzman, senior fellow at The Soufan Center
