Maliki is such a coward.
There is nothing people like from a politician worse then a coward like Maliki.
Jaafari certainly was alot like Maliki, the big difference was that Jaafari was respectful to the US. He was playing both the US and Sadr to help him, but in doing so he did not attack the United States.
Maliki has attacked and attacked the US for one thing after the other, the man takes our support for granted and thinks he can piss on us while he uses our money to make Iraq safe for pro-Iranian militants. I actually consider Maliki worse then Jaafari. Maliki was Sadr's first choice after Jaafari was replaced for good reason.
