A senior U.N. official said that Iraq s parliamentary elections were credible and the results should stand, angering Sunni Arabs who have taken to the streets demanding a new vote.The U.N. endorsement, which came Wednesday after opposition groups demanded international intervention, was likely to deflate their calls for the elections to be canceled. With that demand unlikely to be met, CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella reports, the question remains whether Sunni leaders will back off and try to make deals with Shiite and Kurdish politicians for a bigger role in the new government.Preliminary results, which gave a big lead to the ruling Shiite religious bloc, also indicated that Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi, a former Washington insider, will not be re-elected to the new 275-member parliament, his office said.Before the ouster of Saddam Hussein in 2003, Chalabi, then living in exile, was a favorite of the U.S. Defense Department and the U.S. Congress.
