He uses the same reigns and vectors for power that the lot of them use be it Iraqi, Iranian, Syrian, Russian or US American power monger. But instead of padding the bottom line of KBR, Blackwater, and Caterpillar he pads his community. Jerk, indeed.From Day 1, he has used his office to install Shiites in key security posts, drive out Sunni politicians and generals and direct money to Shiite communities. In a word, Maliki has been a total jerk.
