Iraqi Political Wheel of Fortune Spinning, "Permanent Secular Challenger"………….

   
  
      Follow ArabiaDeserta on Twitter
“An Iraqi court on Monday disqualified 52 candidates from the country's parliamentary elections, including two who won seats, and threw out their votes in a decision that could potentially change the outcome of the March 7 vote. At least one of the winning candidates came from the coalition of secular challenger Ayad Allawi, which won 91 seats compared to 89 seats for a bloc led by incumbent Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, said Saad al-Rawi, a member of the independent commission that oversees Iraq's elections……..”

I wish the Western media would stop calling Allawi a "secular challenger". Next he is going to have that printed on his business card "Ayad Allai: Secular Challenger". That may be his permanent job, hopefully. Many of his bloc are (Sunni) fundamentalists, including outgoing vice presidnet Tareq al-Hashimi.<br>
