Vote on Constitution delayed again

The Speaker of the Iraqi National Assembly adjourned for the day without voting on the constitution as the first extended deadline passed. The Speaker said that he did not want the constitution voted on without the support of the Sunnis. The Sunnis make up 20% of the Iraqi population. Gave a few more days to garner support.
The US has put a happy face stating that while we are not at the goal that we are making progress and close to deal. This while the US was putting pressure on the Iraqis to meet the first deadline.
