2. According to a blonde reporter in Baghdad this AM.....

Allawi seems to be making the most noise. He's not up for a major post in the new gov. if the results stand. Sour grapes or coinky dink? :popcorn:

3. Interesting, the UN official who declared the elections were fair

was Canadian yet there is also a Canadian as part of this international team. It will be interesting to see if there is a conflict of opinion between the two.

"Among the International Mission for Iraqi Elections will be two representatives from the Arab League, one member of the Canadian Association of Former Parliamentarians and a respected European academic, the group said Thursday."
