CHALABI EYES IRAQI ABSENTEE VOTERS IN OHIO AND FLORIDA TO WIN PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION BID FOR PRIME MINISTER
INTERNATIONAL ELECTION MONITORS OBSERVING FROM JORDON SEE NO IRREGULARITIES
Just how fraudulent are the Iraqi parliamentary elections likely
to be?
What is preemptive political satire?
In
this 5 minute video podcast the BetterBadNews panel hear
from an enthusiastic campaign insider about the Ahmed
Chalabi strategy to become Prime Minister of Iraq:
A
controversial law allowing Iraqi exiles to vote in the
parliamentary elections has election consultants combing their records
for prospective Chalabi supporters in Ohio and Florida.
There will be no foreign election monitors in Iraq on polling day. All
international monitors will be based in Jordan.
Officials say Iraqi forces will provide most of the security.
But US commanders say their forces will be on standby in case the Iraqis
run into difficulty. They insist that polling will take place even in the
most violent areas under their control, including Falluja, Ramadi and
Mosul.
