Iraq Rejects U.S. Talk of Adjusting Vote Result
Sun Dec 26, 2004 11:49 AM ET

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's election body rejected a suggestion in
Washington it adjust the results of next month's vote to benefit the
Sunni minority if low turnout in Sunni areas means Shi'ites win an
exaggerated majority in the new assembly.
Speaking of "unacceptable" interference, Electoral Commission spokesman
Farid Ayar said: "Who wins, wins. That is the way it is. That is the
way it will be in the election."
U.S. diplomats in Baghdad, at pains to keep their role in the election
discreet, declined comment on a New York Times report from Washington
which said Sunnis might be granted extra seats if the community's vote
was judged to have been too low.
U.S. officials have expressed concern that if the ballot on Jan. 30
fails to reflect Iraq's sectarian and ethnic mix due to violence and
boycotts in Sunni areas, then the assembly will lack legitimacy. But
any attempt to fix the proportion of seats going to the main groups in
advance could have the same effect. (snip)

Damned, do you have to spread your retarded conspiracy-laced fantasies
all over usenets? Not only do you cross post inappropriately, you do so
multiple times from numerous groups. What's the matter, don't have any
friends that are willing to tolerate your stupidity?
