BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Shi’ite Nuri al-Maliki was re-nominated as Iraqi prime minister on Thursday as fractious politicians ended an eight-month deadlock that raised fears of renewed sectarian warfare. Iraq’s newly elected Speaker of Parliament Osama al-Nujaifi (C) chairs the new Iraqi Parliament session in Baghdad, November 11, 2010. (REUTERS/Thaier al-Sudani) A pact on top government posts reached late on Wednesday brought together Shi’ites, Sunnis and Kurds in a power-sharing arrangement similar to the last Iraqi government, and could help prevent a slide back into the sectarian bloodshed that raged after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. In a sign of turbulent relations between the partners,…

Democrats of all stripes are voicing their horror after the White House indicated it might cave to Republicans and extend the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy. It’s one issue that has managed to unite and excite the Dems, and for which polls are overwhelmingly on their side, so it’s not surprising that there’s already a petition opposing the surrender. Politico: It’s hard to overstate just how much some Democrats, still reeling from the midterms, were relishing the prospect of the Bush tax cuts fight.

If you weren’t so keen on that LTE-enabled LG handset for Verizon that we saw recently, feat your eyes on this puppy. What we’re looking at here is allegedly the HTC Mecha — which may be known at retail as the Droid Incredible HD — and from the looks of it, it’ll be the first true EVO 4G equivalent from HTC for Big Red. And yes, when we say “EVO 4G equivalent,” we mean 4G network support, too: you’ll notice a little “4G” symbol up there toward the right side of the status bar, suggesting this will likely be among the company’s inaugural LTE phones early next year. Android Central ‘s source says that the phone is getting 9Mbps down and 5Mbps up in testing right now… so let’s just hope those speeds hold up when the network actually launches.
