Elections Turned Over to Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq

Carina Perelli, head of the UN electoral mission in Iraq, briefs on the process of setting up elections.

Ms. Perelli states, "From now on, this is probably the last time you see my face making an announcement on Iraqi matters regarding Iraqi elections because the independent electoral commission of Iraq will be making these announcements to the Iraqi people, as is their right. The U.N. will assume the role of providing technical assistance to this commission, as we have started already to do it on Monday because the commission was formed on Sunday, the 30th of May, and has already started to work."

The Iraqi people will suffer American imperialism by having to choose, with United Nations assistance, their own leaders in the dreaded "representative government".
