U.S. Rejects Iraqi Plan to Hold Census by Summer
We've said we wanted elections. But you need voter roles for an election. For that, you need a census. It turns out that Iraq has a functioning Census Dept. But we don't want them to take a census, since that would lead to elections. We just want a series of caucuses. Because they're not ready for elections. Because they don't have any voter roles.
Oh.
Research shows that no one ever went broke by betting on there being duplicity, double-dealing, obsfucation, arrogance and plain ol' American lying in the actions of an Occupation Force.
