О выборах в Ираке

[cema]

the elections that Bush welcomed may wind up being the best means of undoing his Iraq war policy.

And what was his Iraq war policy? I thought he has been aiming for the elections all along. :-)

No, the elections at this time were allowed under pressure from Al Sistani and shiites, who are hostile to Americans and will control any Iraqi legislature.

Bush's Iraq war policy, among other things, is a loyal regime in Bagdad, or at least one that's more or less guaranteed to be neutral. These elections may undo this policy.
