I guess if you stole an election to become President of the US, touting fraudulent elections isn't too much of a reach. It looks that whole Iraqi election success thing Bush has been crowing about is crumbling, not that he'd notice. He's got his spin and he is sticking to it:
Dozens of Sunni Arab and secular Shiite groups threatened to boycott Iraq's new legislature Thursday if complaints about tainted voting are not reviewed by an international body.
A representative for former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi described the Dec. 15 vote as "fraudulent" and the elected lawmakers "illegitimate."
A joint statement issued by 35 political groups that competed in last week's elections said the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq, which oversaw the ballot, should be disbanded.
