The senior U.S. official predicted the potential for the new plan for a new government next month or so, pointing to the possibility of visiting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Iraq if agreement was reached.
He said another U.S. official, who requested anonymity because of the secret talks, we do not know specifically what the other option available, the Government of national unity is less effective but it looks at the same time representative of all shades and is accountable to the Iraqi people are better for the future of Iraq.
U.S. officials insist they do not favor a particular candidate for prime minister, but the proposal aims to make al-Maliki or any of his successor as prime minister more acceptable to the rest of the blocks will be re-identification of the authorities through the new legislation, but would not require a constitutional amendment.
But there are doubts about the possible loss of Americans, as a result of the tireless efforts made by the Iranian government to push for a coalition of alternative may still be the al-Maliki as prime minister, but within the coalition with his rivals, the Shiites are not with Iyad Allawi said this, it will be the winning coalition as a barometer to measure the influence of both the United States and Iran in the unstable country is still volatile.
The complete absence of trust between the rival factions hampered all the efforts of an alliance, and some experts argue that even if the U.S. proposal succeeded, it is possible that would leave Iraq in the end with the Government, will lead broad-based to make it too weak to deal with the difficult problems it faces.

And Biden said in an interview in Baghdad last week that if the Iraqis fail to reach agreement on forming a new government during the next six months, it raises concerns about the possible involvement of the military in politics, stressing I'm afraid to start army generals to say for the moment, Where is this difference ?.
Said Biden, but I think we are still far from reaching this stage, pointing out that the Obama administration is aggressively pursuing to achieve political progress we communicate pointing intensively with all parties since the announcement of election results, and we continue to ply it ».
The new arrangement for the power-sharing under discussion for several months, in the aftermath of the election results in June (June), Christopher Hill, the U.S. ambassador in Baghdad with his aides drafted a document in consultation with Biden reflect the ideas that were discussed with the Iraqi politicians.
According to one version, the initial agreement would be the Council's new Secretary General, will include the Prime Minister and the President of the Republic and Head of the Judiciary and the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government as well as some key ministers.
And will convert some of Maliki's security authorities to the new Council but will retain her role as leader of the armed forces in Iraq.
Despite the slow progress is clear to all, each party submitted its proposals on the work of the new body, but nevertheless there are still difficult issues hampered by lack of harmony between Maliki, Allawi has said Allawi in an interview with him: we have made little progress, and I stress the word (simple).
Allawi insisted during a debate on the proposed Council on the need to have the executive powers, and balancing and advisers and to have the right to call cabinet ministers to testify, and that the powerful influence equivalent to the Prime Minister.
