Fine, he deserves a US backed coup just like Allende did: he's destroying his country and people. It's just so irritating that the media deliberately make it appear Maliki is behind 'a coup' -just to cover for the Democrats.

According to the BBC several mins ago, Iraq has a new PM, Haider al Abadi, a member of the Islamic Dawa Party, a Shia Muslim, with Obama administration’s approval: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-28749541 — according to Wiki, Islamic Dawa Party, whose leader is (was) Maliki, supports the Khomeinist regime in Iran, and supported Khomeini himself during Iran-Iraq war, still receives financial support from the Islamic regime in Iran. Fabulous? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Dawa_Party
