Fallujah Can't Defy Iraqi Rule: Allawi
Iraq is determined to "flush out" the insurgents and their foreign allies from their last remaining hideouts well ahead of next January's elections, interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said in an interview conducted in Brussels. He called on "all those interested in the rule of law" to help his government crush the insurgents and hold elections in 12 weeks' time. "We cannot allow pockets of our national territory to remain outside Iraqi authority," he said. "We consider those pockets as chunks of Iraq that remain to be liberated."
There you have it. Why have a government if it's not going to govern all the country?
