I thought they had forbidden cars to drive around in Baghdad for 3-4 days during election time so car bombs couldn't be used---

FNC just ran a commercial for Allegra. They're thinking about her too!

Can you imagine the modern socialist media reporting on Washington's crossing of the Delaware, or the Normandy invasion? What is it with the Left that they are so cowardly? When I near one I almost can't resist the temptation to tweak them in the nose or knee them in the groin.

I have no idea if Iraqis like to vote early, midday or late.

No one does since they haven't had this kind of election for many Decades.

I hit a cow once. Went to the emergency room where a doctor by the name of "Mark Manship" took care of me....My son asked if he'd teach me to "hit the bull's eye"!

Indeed.

I think there is going to be a lot of mayhem today. It's not too surprising. The MSM and the Insurgents are the reigning tag team Champions of the world. The insurgents will give the 5th Column Leftists in the MSM more than enough footage to work with.

This must be a doctored photo. We all know Iraqi's don't want Democracy and just want the US to leave. (Sarcasm off)

Fox saying car bomb went off at checkpoint. Several blasts heard (shoot and scoot?). What are you hearing and stay safe!

Heard a "BOOM!" and then machine gun fire, which we are still hearing sporadically.

These are not unusual sounds for us at all, we just didn't want to hear them today.

They did forbid cars. Also, at the start of the election time, Fox mentioned that a vehicle had illegally been driving into the area.....that was almost two hours ago....is it the same vehicle? I don't know (I'm thinking not).

Frankly, all the terrorists have to do is set off loud fireworks and shoot machine guns into the air and this election will be declared a failure by 9am Baghdad time. The mediots are all just standing on the balcony of their hotel rooms listening to the distant booms and declaring a disaster.
