U.S. Puppet Govt. in Iraq
Supposedly, there will be an election in Iraq in Jan. ’05.
Right now there is an Iterim Prime Minister, a Pres. and two VPs.
There are also cabinet officers, of Defense, Treasury, Health etc.
This election will have candidates that according to the rules
are not supposed to be the same ones that are in the Interim positions.
Meaning: those in positions now are not illegible to run in the upcoming elections.
I strongly suspect that the rules will be brocken on all counts if this election ever takes
place. Elections require money to operate and candidates need money to promote themselves. Where is this money going to come from for candidates that are now not part of the “Interim Govt.”?

"Since the Shi’ites are the dominant majority of Iraq with the Kurds second and the Sunnis third how will the three groups power share? What sort of Govt. system is Iraq going to put in place that will assure that no one group will dominate the others? In the US we have states but in Iraq there are no states just cities and territories. I don’t understand how a new Govt. will be organized.
"Most significant of all, the withdrawal from these cities calls into question the practicality of nationwide elections scheduled to take place before the end of January. At the moment, the Americans appear to be prepared to hold elections without cities like Falluja and Ramadi. But excluding the largely Sunni Arab areas from the elections would raise serious doubts about their legitimacy. Already, one of the country's leading Sunni groups, the Sunni Clerics Association, boycotted the selection of the National Council, which serves as a de facto Parliament here."
"We think the elections will be fake," said Abdul Salam al-Qubesi, a leading Sunni cleric and a member of the association.
