Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
BAGHDAD, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- A senior Iraqi official has said the U.S. plan to hold Iraqi elections before the end of January 2005 is "not realistic," Newsweek reported Sunday.
U.S. officials have said Iraq will hold national elections before January ends, but some Iraqi officials have voiced doubts.
"I'm convinced that it's not going to happen. It's just not realistic," said Ghassan Atiyya, director of the independent Iraq Foundation for Development and Democracy, who recently met with Iraq's interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and American representatives to discuss the January election. Atiyya told Newsweek he's worried that America will insist on its schedule, despite obstacles.
"The Americans have created a series of fictional dates and events in order to delude themselves," he said. "Badly prepared elections, rather than healing wounds, will open them."
