This video clip is an exam­ple of how ugly the rela­tion between Maliki and Hakim.

This is Maliki address­ing the pub­lic in Wasit province yes­ter­day, and his remarks after police found INA elec­tion cam­paign posters with Sis­tani images :

You should not be fooled by those who try to lie and deceive the Iraqi peo­ple, and you have to remem­ber that the good posi­tion of Mr. Sis­tani, who was very clear, as he said that he stands at the same dis­tance from all the lists, and he will not sup­port any list at the expense of another list. How do you give your votes to those who lie in the name of Supreme Reli­gious References?

Hasimi’s words to Al-Hayat today say­ing that Maliki is prepar­ing for a coup if he losses the elec­tion, are not empty words. Described by Al-Sumria as a post­poned war between Maliki and Al-Hakim, the deci­sion made by “J and A” to exclude mil­i­tary offi­cers is only the tip of a much big­ger ice­berg, and prepa­ra­tions for “Shiite-Shiite” post-election war.

The account­abil­ity and jus­tice pre­pared a new exclu­sion list of 300 mil­i­tary offi­cers (a sec­ond list and not the same as the first one), also rejected by Maliki, although the gov­ern­ment had issued a deci­sion to freeze any action of this kind.

The new exclu­sion list is part of the Shi­ite sec­tar­ian par­ties attempts to replace the pro­fes­sional mil­i­tary and Intel­li­gence offi­cers with 85 “low-ranked” offi­cers to dom­i­nate the secu­rity insti­tu­tions. The sources warned that Maliki planed to end his dom­i­na­tion on the mil­i­tary insti­tu­tion with four months, and actions of the both coali­tions (Dawa and Supreme Coun­cil) will cre­ate a dan­ger­ous power vac­uum in the coun­try after the election.

At the same time Prime Min­is­ter Al-Maliki con­tin­ued a major shuf­fle and changes in the mil­i­tary lead­er­ship. Most of them are replaced with ele­ments loyal to Dawa Party to extend his dom­i­na­tion before the elec­tions, such as the Gen­eral Direc­tor of the of the Pris­ons to ensure the votes of the inmates, and the head of the of the mil­i­tary intel­li­gence Maj. Gen. Alaa Al-Ameri is replaced with an offi­cer “close to Maliki”.
