Iraqi Prime Minister Calls for Crisis Summit

This story from the BBC can't possibly be correct:

Iraq's Prime Minister, Nouri Maliki, has called for a summit of the nation's main political factions in an attempt to break Iraq's political paralysis.
In recent weeks almost all Sunni members of the cabinet have quit. Others are boycotting meetings, leaving at least 17 cabinet seats empty.

Many of them have accused Mr Maliki, a Shia Muslim, of ignoring their demands.

How can this be? Every utterance from the Bush Adminstration and Fox Opinion Network and Joe Lieberman, the Senator from Israel, is that we are making "real progress" in Iraqnam.

You don't suppose the loyal Bushies have been lying to us do you?
