"The United Nations has said it expects to send election advisers to Baghdad soon despite a warning by U.S. military officials of a rise in violence ahead of Iraqi independence."

Note to US military officials: Button up on the violence thing. Let Koffi Anus & Co. reap the whirlwind of the kind of world they champion.
