Beginning of the end? /終わりの始まりか

BBC 11/8から

The battle for Falluja is supposed to be the beginning of the end.

The plan is that US troops, supported by forces from the interim Iraqi government, will
drive a stake through the heart of the insurgency, thereby opening the way for elections
to take place across the country on 27 January next year.

In turn, those elections are designed to produce a transitional assembly and government,
leading to a new constitution and a fully elected government by the end of next year,
after which the foreign troops can think of leaving.
