#1 Elections first, election rules later. Sounds like the Florida 2000 model to me.

#2 How many Frog politicians does it take to change a light bulb?

Well, first you have to have a meeting to decide the shape of the table...

#3 I think Bremer's trip to the White House was to confim that the current council is incapable of ordering lunch yet alone drafting a constitution this century. Thus the express line for their replacements.

#4 This could be a good idea. First, the Iraqis have little experience with representative government. Give them the chance to elect people to local groups. Then let them elect people to regional groups. Follow that with getting them to elect people to a constitutional congress. Then get them to vote on a constitution. By then, they'll have the idea about voting for a national government, and for people to represent them in that national government.

It'll also put the pressure on the current interim government to get their act in gear.
