The “coup” on Maliki is still a “juicy” sub­ject for many writ­ers. Abbas Al-Nuri says if a coup hap­pened and espe­cially in this crit­i­cal time then it will be done by one of the pow­er­ful polit­i­cal bloc to gain the Amer­i­cans sup­port, but he con­firms that it is just a rumor:

The sub­ject of the coup is cre­ated because there are many goals to score behind such rumors.

Agrees Iraqi polit­i­cal ana­lyst Dr. Hus­sein Abd Al-Emir, who con­cludes that the coup ques­tion brought by Supreme Coun­cil as a warn­ing to Maliki [or indi­rectly to Dawa Party] before the provin­cial elec­tion because of the increas­ing pop­u­lar­ity of the Prime Min­is­ter [remem­ber that Cha­l­abi said a Shi­ite coup].

The writer said that the politi­cians who talks about the coup [Adil Abd Al-Mahdi and Al-Hakim] know very good that the Iraqi army is unable to coup against the gov­ern­ment because of the lack of arms and observed by the Americans.

The Supreme Council’s warn­ing mes­sage to Maliki will be fol­lowed by other mes­sages in the com­ing two months, and prob­a­bly it will be a cam­paign against the tribal lead­ers who sup­port Maliki.
