Time for Plan D?

An envoy for the United Nations said that he supported a powerful Shiite cleric's call for elections to help install a new sovereign government after having met with the cleric this morning.

But he did not address whether it was feasible to hold the elections by June 30, the date for the scheduled transfer of sovereignty.

The envoy, Lakhdar Brahimi, said the cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, "is insistent on holding the elections and we are with him on this 100 percent because elections are the best means to enable any people to set up a state that serves their interest."

Now that's why you don't want the UN involved. We told them the transfer had to occur on June 30th (for reelection reasons). And here they are ignoring the most important part. Damn the UN.
