#2 What would you expect, given that the prime minister was hand-picked by Sadr?

#4 really ZF? I know SCIRI voted against Jaafari, Dawa and and the Sadrists voted in favor. I hadnt heard that Sistani had his hand on the scales. Any source?

#5 Sadr (as might be expected from a student of Ayatollah Haeri) is opposed to Sistani on numerous points of theology as well as politics. The latter has endorsed the UIA, but that's a Shi'ite bloc with like 118 parties of which Dawaa and SCIRI are the largest. SCIRI breaking with Jaafari is one of the reasons why he is increasingly dependent on Sadr and his supporters to stay in power and is thus under enormous pressure to tow their line.
