#1 Valenzuela and his team didn't do Venezuela, did they?

He actually said a couple of intelligent things. This stands out as common sense:
"There is no magic number. At the end of the day, you have to leave it to the Iraqi public as to whether they believe this process was credible or not."

He'll probably get fired by the UN High Commissioner For Rigged Bullshit, er, Elections for being so normal and sensible.

#2 Shoot. Now I'm worried. Up until the UN thought things were going OK, I did. But when have they ever been correct on Iraq?

#3 The election workers are "some of the most courageous people I have seen," he said

I'm guessing he's talking about the Iraqi's and not the UN workers. The Iraqi people are indeed impressive.

#4 I don't even see why UN representatives are opening their big mouths. These idiots should simply do their damned observing when the time comes and keep their yaps shut in the meantime. After all, that the Iraqis are now at a position where they can actually have an un-rigged election sure as hell didn't come about because the UN finally decided to give Saddam the hook. Remember, ol' Goo-fi himself said that the war to depose Hussein was "illegal".

These UN retards have no shame whatsoever.
