One thing is... this woman is an idiot. You can't just throw a country that has been under authoritarian for the last 25 years into elections less then a year after their freedom. Secondly when you have a country with three very different ethnic/religious identities in a country that isn't being partitioned, you have to factor in that. We want the country to be fully represented, if they were to have direct elections the shiites who have the majority of the country would run the show and this is bad for two reasons. 1) It would for sure piss off the sunni's and very well upset the kurds who are all abou having their own country and identity as it is. 2) The shiites have something and want something very similar to that of the Iranians, the last thing we want in Iraq is another theocracy.
