No doubt HS, really first time a iraqi Prime Minster has even publicly stated this that i can even remember ...

 

"major and exceptional corruption cases" should narrow the investigation and cut the chase down to about 99.9 % of those in power since 2003  ..

cheers all the best

Maliki better run while he has time. He might think that Iran will come to his rescue, he could be mistaken. This prime minister is determined and he means business. Look at everything he has done already.
