Jaafari set to become Iraq's P.M.

The conservative Al-Jaafari, a 58-year-old family doctor, is the main spokesman for the Islamic Dawa Party, which waged a bloody campaign against Saddam Hussein's regime in the late 1970s. Saddam crushed the campaign in 1982 and Dawa based itself in Iran.

So, does that mean that Iraq's new government will have a direct connection to Iran? Or does Washington have him in its pocket by some manner? Or will he have to be assassinated?
