 TIME.com: Allawi Rides to Bush's Rescue -- Page 1
Whether or not American voters choose to believe the President — or to accept John Kerry's charge that Allawi is simply reading from the administration's script and distorting the reality — in the eyes of Iraqis and most of the international community Allawi does not personify the democratic will of a free people.
Allawi insisted that the election would go ahead — although, he warned, it would be imperfect — despite the suggestion by "some" that security conditions for holding a credible election simply don't exist right now.
The insurgency, Allawi said, is overblown by Western media coverage — in fact, he claimed, it is confined to three out of Iraq's 18 provinces, and most of southern and northern Iraq is tranquil enough to hold elections tomorrow.
