Surprise, surprise. The UN verdict is in. A UN official has said that elections can not be held in Iraq before the occupation US-led authorities hand power to an Iraqi government at the end of June. By the way, the US tool, known as Al-Akhdar Al-Ibrahimi, met with Bush before leaving on his "independent" mission in Iraq. It was highly naive on the part of Sistani, who has not left his house in 6 years, to expect the UN to render an independent judgment on any matter.
