The Puppet Wants His Strings Cut
Quitter
Okay so he hasn't resigned yet, but Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has made it clear that the idea was at the top of his Santa list:
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has made clear he dislikes being the country's leader and would prefer to 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.
"I wish I could be done with it even before the end of this term," he said.
"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."
Yeah, the Bushies now thinks he sucks as well. Can't say I blame the guy. I'd rather spend my time degreasing the floors at Burger King during closing time than be the leader of the shithole.
