...deadline, and they sheepishly say they are waiting for the U.N. to take the lead. "They're going to take over the process, and we're going to follow their recommendations," says a Bush aide. The Administration is pinning its hopes on the proven diplomatic skills of U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who finessed the compromise over elections with Ayatullah Sistani last month. Washington is counting on him to pull off another coup by setting up Iraq's post--June 30 political structures. The veteran diplomat has responded with impressive sangfroid.

...special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi concurred with Bremer's argument that the logistics and the perilous security situation prevented elections before June 30. But he also pronounced the caucus proposal dead, as well as affirming that the hand-over date remains a point of consensus among the Iraqis themselves and between them and Washington.

...been sent by the CIA to investigate British intelligence claims that Saddam was trying to buy yellowcake uranium in Niger. Wilson seemed like an understandable choice for the secret CIA mission: he had been a diplomat in Niger in the '70s and had been the last U.S. envoy to meet Saddam before George H.W. Bush began the liberation of Kuwait in 1991. The yellowcake story was tantalizing to hard-liners because it backed their hunch that Saddam had been trying to acquire the makings of a nuclear weapon. But after an eight-day trip, Wilson concluded that the yellowcake claims...
