Maliki longs to retire awwww
2007-01-03
BBCIraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has made clear he dislikes being the country's leader and would prefer to be in Philadelphia leave the job before his term ends. In an extensive interview with a US newspaper, Mr Maliki said he would certainly not be seeking a second term. A compromise choice, his tenure has been plagued by factional strife within both the country and government, and rumours the US has no faith in him.
honey where's that ole Stradivarius?
"I wish I could be done with it even before the end of this term," he said.
boo f'n hoo, meanwhile a few more bodies washed up..
"I didn't want to take this position," he told the Wall Street Journal. "I only agreed because I thought it would serve the national interest, and I will not accept it again."
nevermind
Mr Maliki, a stalwart of the Shia movement which led the resistance to Saddam Hussein, was sworn in as prime minister for a four year term last May after Sunni and Kurd parties rejected the Shia alliance's first nominee.
