If he plans to replace Allawi, then who is treating the government of Iraq as a puppet?

I thought the plan was to stabilize the country to the point where elections could be held. Then nobody would need a puppet.

American soldiers will keep dying until there is some semblance of a Government in Iraq. Calling what is there now a puppet, simply because you fear you've lost some votes, is desparate and frankly sick. If JFK felt he had to say something, he could have deflected the allawi statements with something much less damaging:
"Mr. Allawi seemed to say things are going fine. I strongly disagree, and feel things can be a lot better, and shortly after I'm elected I believe Mr. Allawi will agree."
In the end they're both running to run the country. They shouldn't be doing crap to achieve that goal which ultimately hurts the country.

American soldiers will keep dying because Kerry's people called Allawi a puppet? C'mon Hank. You may be that much of an idealogue, but you aren't really that stupid, are you? American soldiers will keep dying there no matter what Kerry says, until the political environment is stabilized. And I hate to break it to you, but supporting Allawi just because the US-appointed council named him Big Kahuna isn't stabilizing the situation.
