Does Blinky ever mention that the US has to approve all Iraqi candidates?

I never hear him mention that. Must be a big secret? Like the Iraqis don't know about that little detail or something. What an idiot.

Bush should tout his cover story in Newsweek, at the end of his speech...,

Who is responsible for organizing the elections?

The exclusive jurisdiction for the oversight, organization and conduct of the transitional elections has been vested in the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq (IECI) - established by the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) order 92 ( 31 May 2004 ).

The IECI is also the authority responsible for certifying political parties, associations, groups and independent candidates as political entities – to compete in the election. The IECI is the arbiter of electoral disputes and can impose penalties against political entities for election related offences.

As the electoral process evolves, the IECI will become the main focus of political pressure . The IECI's capacity to withstand political pressure will depend largely on its ability to remain independent, impartial and consistent – in reality and perception.
