It is now 3 am in Iraq the polls will be opening in the next few hours as the world watches and hold's it breath. Iraq is about to undertake a historic vote.
Lets wish them well....... please post all comments and election photos to this thread.
I knew about it and it is definitely something worth thinking about. I am dubious about it... but what isn't in question is that he catted around in DC and caused his first marriage to end in divorce.
Kewl! I'm envious. :o)
What? I did not know this.... How do people get away with this type of behavior and then remain in the mainstream spotlight?
Major Bob on FOX!
Good news.
Could be their last meal.
I think Rita's sexy but in a classy kind of way. She has that cool husky voice too.
Iraqi President Ghazi al-Yawar waves a stained blue finger, used to identify those who have already voted, after casting his ballot in the capital Baghdad January 30, 2005. Iraq's first multiparty polls in half a century began at dawn on Sunday, elections intended to unite the country but which could instead foment sectarian strife and which insurgents have vowed to turn into a bloodbath.

In more ways than one, right? LOL
If you miss her, you can probably still get your shot at Denny's an hour after the bar closes.
Seriously, he is such a 5th Column French pr*ck. If he had any humility, he would take some time off to figure out why he lost an election that was so tilted in his favor. Hell, the media's bias was worth 25 points.
There was just a National News break into the programming saying the voting began an hour ago and all is going well at this time even though the insurgents keep telling them not to vote.
The guy with the accent on CNN has already declared the election a complete disaster.
That's it. I'm going to bed.
Way to go, Reuters! There's optimism for you! Why don't try at least being OBJECTIVE for a change?
Just damn, too bad they couldn't ink their middle fingers and hold them up. LOL
Does anyone know if any talkradio commentators are live right now following the events surrounding this historic occasion? I thought I heard that Hugh Hewitt was going to broadcast this weekend, but he doesn't appear to be on right now.
I'm in the Southern California area, but I can listen online as well. Anyone know anybody on the air right now?
OMG, I hate the media. MSNBC just had Jim Maceda in Ramadi. He was going on and on about the fact that 30 minutes into the voting, only 1 civilian had voted so far in Ramadi (the other voters were all Iraqi Security Forces). He then, with an appropriately dour yet somehow gloating expression, intoned "ONE voter, in a city with 250,00 eligible voters. I think that speaks a million words. Back to you."
Idiots! It's 7:30 am. The polls have been open for 30 minutes. Even not taking into account Allegra's info that Iraqis aren't early risers (and 7am is damn early, even for U.S. voters) what fool would rush out and vote as soon as the polls opened before waiting to see if there's violence?
Why do these mediots think they can extrapolate from how many voters there are by 7:30 AM?!?!? Give it a freakin' chance!
