Video Description:
Senior Iraqi politicians, with possible tacit backing from U.S. Vice President Richard Cheney, are planning to ask soon for a no-confidence parliamentary vote against Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as a step toward bringing him down, CBS News reported Saturday.
The report said the no-confidence vote will be requested on July 15 by the largest block of Sunni politicians, who are part of a broad political alliance called the Iraq Project.
The group wants a new government run by ministers who are appointed for their expertise, not their party loyalty, the television network said.
The Iraq Project is known to the highest levels of the U.S. government. Its plan, CBS News said, was discussed in detail during Vice President Cheney's most recent visit to Baghdad, when he met with the Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi.
Maliki has announced his own alliance to try to save his government, but even his vice president says that's little more than a short-term fix, according to the report.
"Cosmetic change is not going to serve the interests of Iraqis, is not going to stabilize, is not going to improve security, what we need is much bigger that that," said Hashimi, the leader of the Iraqi Islamic Party.
Leaders of the Iraq Project claim they have the necessary votes to force Maliki to resign, but that has yet to be tested in parliament, the report said.
For now, at least publicly, the United States is standing by the Iraqi leader, CBS News reported.
The White House is under increasing congressional pressure to show progress in Iraq or reconsider its military involvement in the country.
