Iraqi's Maliki not seeking second term and would prefer to leave the job before his term ends..
<snip> In an extensive interview with a US newspaper, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki said he would certainly not be seeking a second term.

"I wish I could be done with it even before the end of this term," he said.

"I didn't want to take this position," he told the Wall Street Journal. "I only agreed because I thought it would serve the national interest, and I will not accept it again."
