In an interview with Italy's Corriere della Sera, Maliki criticised U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's comment that his government was living on borrowed time.

"I would like to advise Condoleezza Rice to avoid declarations that could help only the terrorists," he told the Italian newspaper.

As for last month's execution of Saddam -- whose death was filmed illicitly on cell phones and released over the Internet -- Maliki acknowledged it had not gone smoothly.

"Mistakes did happen during the execution. They were not intended. These mistakes did not come from officials but from minor people," he said, according to an audio extract of the interview released on the Times Web site.

3. "Commander AWOL & Condi are terraist enablers." - Al-Maliki

"I mean, haven't you ever watched the video of him on 9/11?
He just sat on his ass reading 'My Pet Goat' for an hour after
having been told for the SECOND time that America was

Traitorous? I dunno.

But one thing's for sure, Commander AWOL enabled the terrarists.
And then Condi lied to cover his incompetent Connecticut preppy butt."
