Maliki by Ho_Is_This? May 19, 2025

Nouri Al-Maliki 

The current prime minister of Iraq; elected in 2006. Constitutional mandate expires in 2010. During his first year and a half in power Maliki was met with criticism from Sunnis (they make up +30% of population of the country) for not letting them having a substantial part in the government and for being to close to Iran (the population majority is Shiite). Sunnis obviously thought of him as having a sectarian bias.
He came to power by (mostly) the support of Al-Sadr, a prominent Shiite cleric who is the head of the militia group; The Mehdi Army (estimated to be +60,000 strong).
With the country coming in a brink of civil war in late 2006 (after the bombing of the shrine of Samara) to early 2007 all seemed hopeless, but nope. When President Bush announced the "surge" in January 2007(?) violence has (currently) reached a 4 year low and political progress has been made that would have never have happened if it weren't for the "surge"(IMO). Politically, the parliament has passed an amnesty law: mainly for Sunni captives, giving pensions to ex government officials from the Saddam era, goal reached for having substantial number of security forces, ect.
Once a "liberal" city during the Saddam era, Basra during the most of the war was met with strong religious Shiite militias because of the incompetence of the Britsh
In March of 2008, Maliki gained support of Sunnis for cracking down on Shiite militia in Basra; mostly the Mehdi Army (I find this impressive because Al-Sadr pretty much gave the job to Maliki back in 2006). The crackdown has also been praised by the Kurds and Shiites not loyal to Sadr. This shows that Maliki does not have sectarian bias or at least a very little one.
After the crackdown in Basra, Maliki had his sites on Sadr City; the main urban sanctuary of the Mehdi Army. The fighting was bloody for about a month and after that a cease fire was made by Sadr (probably not to look like even more of a cunt). Once the cease fire was made IRAQI security forces entered the stronghold to set up military check points. Since the presence of Iraqi troops Sadr City has been relatively calm.
To rid Al Qaeda in Iraq Al Maliki ordered forces to be sent to Mosul (dubbed AQI's last urban strong hold). Thousands of suspected fighters have been captured and according to a general commanding American forces in northern Iraq the province has seen a 80% decline in violence from a year ago (!).
And there you go boys and girls....
Nouri Al-Maliki is probably the coolest name ever in the history of mankind....

Malicious Over-Compliance 

A variation of malicious compliance where you respond (or offer to respond) with way more than what was asked of you, in order to try and pressure the asker to back off.
Sue: "So I told my husband I wasn't ok with him staying at his ex-girlfriend's house when he visited her town," and he was like, 'fine, I'll never hang out alone with any female friend - ever - if that's what it takes for you to trust me'!"

Sam: "That's some grade-A malicious over-compliance. My Mom's the queen of it. I told her I didn't have time to talk for 3 hours on the phone every day and she goes 'oh I'm so sorry, I'll stop bothering you with my sad, boring life - I'll never demand speak to you again... but perhaps you would allow me a 2-minute call on my birthdays and maybe Christmas?' Like, geez, lady!"

Kid: "Bye Dad, I'm gonna hang out with some older guys in a parking lot."

Sam: "No you're not - it's 10:30pm on a school night ."

Kid: "Fine, I guess I'll just stay home all day every day and never do anything but study and pray!"

Sam: "That's nice, kid - now do your homework." *turns to Sue* "Yeah, my daughter apparently inherited the malicious over compliance talent from gran-gran. I was sort hoping she'd get Mom's singing talent, but nooo... just the theater drama."

Malicious compliance 

When a superior gives you incredibly bad orders, and out of spite, you follow them to the letter, knowing the result is going to be disastrous.
Bobby: Don't change the formulas of this report. If you do, you're fired.
Frank: Whatever you say, boss.

Two weeks pass. Bobby calls Frank in to his office.

Bobby: You knew that report contained errors in its format. Why didn't you fix it, you shit?

Frank: Because you told me not to, you dick. It was malicious compliance.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
