This episode of Inside Iraq looks at the changing perceptions of the Iraqi prime minister and asks if he has found a new political compass and courage or if he is merely a paper tiger propped up by the American military forces on the ground.

  • As an Iraqi I must say I really like Maliki!

    He isnt an extrimist or pro sunni/shia!

    He is perfect for the country, but some arabs (mostly not EVEN Iraqis) think that he is a puppy to the americans, but you ignorent cavemen should stop think that everything you say is right and everything is wrong, start to live in democracy!

  • Are you on the US government propaganda payroll? Seems like it!

    Al Maliki didn't defeat the Sadrists; Moqtadr Al Sadr stood them down willfully. He's protecting his own plans for the elections later this year. Only fools would write Al Sadr off.

    And Al Maliki only has Sunni support because the US taxpayer is paying for it.

    What has Al Maliki done contrary to US wishes? The fact that he is objecting to the Strategic Forces Agreement is a matter of survival, as outright acceptance is untenable.

  • The Bible says that in the Last Days there will be those who will deny the coming of Jesus Christ and at the same time they will deny Creation and the Flood as recorded in the Bible. With such denials prevalent today, do you think we are living in the Last Days?

  • .. but you have to love the accents :)

  • this is so biased towards sunni secterism. Like there is NO OTHER group policing the streets, only sunni groups backed by the US. But it's al jazeera so what else would you expect

  • He is going to be dead as soon as the Crusaders are forced to withdraw.

  • Maliki is Bush's manservant

  • Yes, we see how simple it is to start a third viable party in the U.S..

    LOL

    Those in power never, I repeat NEVER want to give up that power.

  • Many people think that the fighting with mahdi army was only over because the fighters pulled out, but the information most people dont get is whats really happening, there is no actual "truce" between the government and the sadrist, the iraqi army kept launching raids and arresting militia men even with the "truce", the mahdi army has dissapeared after the massive operations.

  • Al Maliki well knows that he cannot sustain power [ and how much actual, effective power he has remains in question]unless he can mollify the Sadrists [ see McCains difficulties with US conservatives]. That he would risk alienating the foreign government that props him up speaks volumes. That US foreign policy is at the mercy of a range war between Al Sadr and Maliki puts the lie to any notions of success.
