Allawi acknowledged last week there were parts of Iraq that would be too unsafe for voting in a January 30 election, as guerrillas killed 20 people in attacks. Allawi promised to spend $2 billion to beef up Iraq's security forces to combat insurgents trying to derail the vote. (AP Photo/Faleh Kheiber, Pool)

1. is that Harrison Ford on the cover detail?

[mediaman007]

2. Are we flying all of the other candidates around too?

I think the betting money is on Allawi to win. I think the more sure bet is that the Shiite Arabs will take up arms after Allawi is elected! Think civil war, and more reason for us to leave, and for the Shrub* to say we should stay.

3. He's going to spend $2 billion in two weeks?! . . .

How transparent a scam can he run and yet still not be called on it in the American press?

4. Where is that 2 billion!!! coming from?

I think we pretty much know where it's going.

7. And after he's elected, he'll ask the US to withdraw (exit strategy)

leaving only what's needed to ensure profits for Halliburton.
