Ten Iraqi parties demand vote be postponed... including Allawi's movement
Ten leading Iraqi parties, including Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's movement, demanded that elections scheduled for January 30 be postponed by six months. These parties, led by former presidential candidate and senior Sunni statesman Adnan Pachachi, signed a joint statement arguing that elections should be postponed by six months to allow an improvement of the security conditions.They just don't seem to get it do they... delaying elections will increase terrorism in Iraq, not decrease it. I thought Allawi, of any Iraqis, would know that. Unless of course this is a ploy for him to remain in power, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and just calling him incompetant.
