#1 This plays up his personality and style differences but does little to explain his political views - precisely the same as al-Jaafari's. He's just less timid, that's all.

He is another pro-Iranian who has wildly denounced the coalition as occupiers. It will be interesting to see how al-Sadr gets treated by him, but I would wager that any differences from al-Jaafari will be surface and symbolic.

This is not good for Iraq, it is more of the same typical Arab bullshit in a more combative package.

Could you give us some more background about Al-Maliki?

He became a member of the De-Baathification Commission

Was he working with Bremer or before for instance?
