Summary
Elections in 2005 produced a permanent constitution and a broad-based but Shiiteled government that has been unwilling or unable to reduce Sunni popular resentment and is showing significant internal strain. The lack of progress on national reconciliation is assessed in September 2007 Administration and GAO reports required by an FY2007 supplemental appropriation (P.L. 110-28), and with little movement since, but there have been some limited Iraqi political accommodation moves. See CRS Report RL31339, Iraq: Post-Saddam Governance and Security, by Kenneth Katzman.
