Bush picked him out of a bunch of Shiite contenders. He could vetoed Maliki, due to US aid being crucial to any Iraqi government's survival, and the Dawa party would have have booted him. Allawi would have been a better choice.

Yes. If we did that here, we'd have a whole set of new office holders.
