Iraqi interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi said elections would go ahead as planned in January, despite continuing violence that Thursday killed 41 people including 34 children.More cracks in "unified Iraq", but from the mouth of the puppet more ridiculous platitudes:
Allawi also condemned as "repugnant" the seizure of a British hostage in Iraq and a threat to behead him.
"We will have those elections on time in Iraq next year ... We are certain that by January most of the Iraqi people will be able to vote," Allawi told the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London.
"The Iraqis have struggled for democracy and we are going to achieve democracy whatever the stakes," he said, adding that the polls would strike "a huge blow to terrorists."
Allawi dismissed a report in the Financial Times newspaper which claimed three of Iraq's oil-rich southern provinces were considering breaking away to set up an autonomous region similar to that demanded by Iraqi Kurds in the north.
"Iraq will remain united. There will be national unity prevailing. The elections will cement the relationship."The reality is the Kurds and the Shia would love to leave the Sunnis with nothing but a lot of worthless sand.
Allawi also said that the kidnappings and executions were the fault of the media:
He said he was saddened by the way the media had covered the hostage crisis, which has dominated news bulletins in Britain, overshadowing the annual conference of Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labor Party this week.It appears Allawi has learned the art of not taking responsibility for anything from his masters in the White House, it's all the fault of the media.
"The terrorists feed on the oxygen of propaganda -- we cut this off, they will die," he said.
"We therefore need to think long and hard about the way this kidnapping has been covered by the media."
