Not so much a debunking as a suggestion that Allawi had plenty of resources available for his campaign. Yes, he could have
hard had more. But if wanted to just install Our Man in Baghdad we should have just installed Our Man in Baghdad instead of bothering with the rest of that nonsense. It's hard to see how such a person would have "more legitimacy" if
appointed rather than installed through a rigged election installed through a rigged election rather than appointed, but I'm a very silly person.*
