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....

There’s nothing quite like her love and there are no words to describe the thing she awakens in a man. There’s something inexplicable that bonds her to you and that’s the thing you’ll always miss if she ever leaves you.
She’s not just a pretty face or a beautiful image, she can touch much more than his body, and that’s why she’s unforgettable.
She’s not afraid and that’s why she’s capable of doing many beautiful things that leave others in awe.
She understands the importance of little things in life and never ceases to surprise you with how easily she touches the hearts of others.
No matter how sweet and inspiring she is, don’t forget that she’s a woman who knows her worth and doesn’t compromise it.
If she is disrespected, she won’t hesitate to leave the situation she’s in because she knows she can take care of herself. She’s not afraid of a broken heart or living life on her own.
If she leaves, feelings won’t. She’ll haunt you and the feelings will stretch throughout time till they turn into regret. That’s why you should treat her accordingly.

Boffin
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.

Pee Calculus
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
