#1 Well, there goes the argument that the election will precede the constitution. I wonder if we'll ever hear that fellow say "I was wrong".

#2 18 "govornorates", huh? Familiar number.
Stupid word, though - too much like "principates". What's wrong with just "provinces"?

Well, now we know what all the to-ing and fro-ing was about. It's "shit or get off the pot" time.

#3 Elections for a new Iraqi government will be held by Dec. 31, 2005, at which point the Fundamental Law will expire and a new government will take power.

I do not have a good feeling about this. First they have to establish some sort of political parties. Preferably not of the islamofascist persuasion. Otherwise islamofascists will jump in to fill the vacuum.

#4 Does anybody else think it would be a good idea to open branch offices of the Republican and (eeewww!) Democratic parties in Baghdad?
