"I Brought You Into This World, I'll Take You Out. Don't Make No Difference to Me, I'll Make Another One, Look Just Like You."

You probably recognize the headline from an old Bill Cosby bit, but it would seem to apply equally well to what is now going on in Iraq.
American officials have denied participating in a plot to oust Iraq prime minister Nouri al-Maliki, despite a series of phone calls made by Barack Obama and Joe Biden to support the appointment of his successor.
al-Maliki would be well-advised to not climb into the back of an APC.

And it was when the Man from Iran told Maliki he was on his own that he stepped down.

We talk big over there but Iran quietly gets things done.

Iran has been Maliki's patron since day 1. Iran trains and supports the Shia militias. They want a quiescent vassal state on their border (like any other regional/great power does) and if that takes putting a 9mm into the back of his neck, that's what they'll do.
