The coming phoney elections in Iraq
http://www.idao.org/IDAO-report-26-sept.html
The US occupation forces and its appointed government continue to suppress any signs of resistance to its occupation, by mass arrests, suspected assassinations, aerial bombardments of Falluja and Sadr City, and arrests of officials of the Sadr movement and the Association of Muslim Scholars. All the signs are that the Iraqi people will be presented in January with a single list of political parties that constitute the present US appointed government. No wonder the Iraqi people are already voicing deep scepticism about an elections held under an occupation bent on imposing its will, with no credible supervision by internationally independent bodies.

In an AP report of 26 September, Baghdad University political scientist Dr. Wameedh Omar said "Do you think that the Americans will allow the election to produce anti-occupation winners?". "The Americans cannot lose in either case," said Muthana al-Dhari, a senior member of the influential Association of Muslim Scholars, echoing a widespread notion in Iraq. "An election will produce a government loyal to them. If no elections are held, then its occupation of Iraq will continue," said al-Dhari.
