Iraqi Interim Leader Allawi Enters Election Race, Announces List of Candidates for Jan. 30 Vote

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi joined the race for Iraq's Jan. 30 elections at a Wednesday news conference meant to highlight his appeal to Iraq's diverse and sometimes fractious ethnic and religious groups.

Surrounded by women and men variously clad in tribal garb, clerical turbans and smart suits, Allawi pledged to work for national unity and move away from "religious and ethnic fanaticism." snip

"By depending on God, and with a firm determination and based on strong confidence in the abilities of our people, we are capable of confronting the difficulties and challenges and of making a bright future for our honorable people," Allawi said. snip

Allawi, a member of Iraq's majority Shiite Muslim community and a former exile, was sworn in as prime minister on June 28 to lead Iraq's U.S.-backed interim government through to the Jan. 30 elections. His political party, the Iraq National Accord is an umbrella group of former Baathists and secular Shiite and Sunni politicians and was formed with CIA assistance in 1991.

Why would any Iraqi vote for an employee of the CIA? Bet he wins.

1. Of course he's going to win ...

'Bringing Democracy to Iraq' wasn't the people's idea, it was Bush's idea ... so of course he's going to ensure that his own horse wins the race.

Bastards. :mad:

2. Is Walden O'Dell committed to delivering Baghdad province to Allawi?

3. This is just NOT RIGHT! THEY HATE HIM

So, if he wins I will be very suspicious of anything from that moment on, not that I am not already suspicious of the liberty bringers.

5. Its a cycle

The CIA helped Saddam take over Iraq and after he served his purpose he found himself being pulled from a hole in the ground. Osama was trained and financed by the CIA who again after he served his purpose found himself being hunted down and accused of being a terrorist. Might take a while but this thug Allawi will get his before it is over with too. Probably be Jeb sending some patriotic soldiers to go smoke his ass out and get him on the run in a few years. (Woo, Haa) All the rest of the idiots will be waving flags and putting magnets on their cars as the soldiers ship out to kill or capture that terrorist Allawi. Kind of funny when you think about it.
