#1 Shiite leaders from the powerful United Iraqi Alliance (UIA) have failed to decide the fate of Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari.

His fate is already decided. They know it, we know it, everybody knows it. But what is it with these guys that they have to do the whole bluster, puffing up the chest thing. What are they waiting for. He's past history. Move forward.

#2 As the deadlock continues, an adamant Mr Jaafari is refusing to budge, reaffirming his position that only Parliament could now decide his fate. "I have a principle that I will accept what our people decide," he said. "I was elected democratically by the people and I do not see power as a personal gain but a reward to be given to the people."

IIRC, he wasn't voted in by Parliament, but only by a party vote. Party vote in, party vote out...

#3 yeah, Ptah, but SCIRI doesnt have the votes to push him out in a party vote (IE a UIA vote) as long as Dawa and the Sadrists back him. Thats why they want him to go quietly, to avoid a split in the UIA on the floor of parliament.
