<<the Bush Administration put forward a series of increasingly convoluted schemes to create a Constitution without an election. Sistani came out publicly and said no way -- those who draft the Constitution of Iraq must be elected by the people of Iraq. Sistani got the process he wanted,>>

So he came up with a better plan and Bush went along with it. Good going Dubya.

<<and run by the UN, as it should be.>>

The elections were called for by UN res. 1546. Which unanimous passage of was a victory for the Bush adm. You can dribble all you want, but these elections are in line with US policy.

.. UN was responsible for running the election.. Well, in theory maybe, but just how many UN people are there in Iraq?
