Burns of the NYtimes said that there's no way in heck that Chalabi will be elected to the PM or Presidency or whatever and his party will get few seats. What's hoped for is that an alliance of secularists like Allawi and some of the Kurds would win out over the fundamentalist Shiites. Then moderate Baathists, those kicked out by Bremmer, might be brought out of the insurgency and we can pack up and go home...or something like that. What looks more likely is simply more of the same. Geez Loueeze. Bush goes in, breaks this country and now goes on these incredibly long and ridiculously frequent recreation vacations while other people kinda sorta try to piece it back together. That's when, of course, they're not as bored of Iraq as Rumsfeld has become. It's like all of the energy has been taken out of Iraq because it just keeps grinding everyone down and sucking up all this money.
