Summary
Elections in 2005 produced a permanent constitution and a broad-based but Shiiteled government that has been unable to reduce Sunni popular resentment and might be fragmenting. U.S. officials are urging Iraqi leaders to complete efforts to achieve national reconciliation; these efforts, a key part of the FY2007 supplemental appropriation (H.R. 1591) that was vetoed on May 1, 2007, have proceeded far more slowly than expected but are not at an impasse. (See CRS Report RL31339, Iraq: PostSaddam Governance and Security, by Kenneth Katzman.)
