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.
Guess we'll have to wait for the Clinton's favorite general. Probably picking up his turtleneck and tweed jacket from the cleaners.
The man is weeping because he can cast a vote in a real election for Iraq.
This election will encourage the various royal despots in the peninsula to give democracy a try (for those who haven't; Kuwait and Qatar I think have made some steps; Jordan's monarch has some kind of elected body).
And Iran, well, heh heh...
Why do so many of us feel so strongly about the same things? I have no answer.
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
That's funny......
It truly is as exciting, even though I don't have a clue who is running, or who to root for--
Not totally being facetious, I hope that Allawi is voted in. And I heard that Sistani is on the ballot for something.
I think those 2 are the most important people that I know I want to see win.
That is hilarious. Thank God Al Gore and Michael Moore won't be anywhere near Iraqi polling stations.
Thanks for the ping, trussell! Praying for the safekeeping of all involved!
Thanks, Mo!
NO!!!! But, you can be sure, at this election, the MSM is NOT on the side of the people, but the terrorists to keep the people away from voting! The MSM doesn't want every vote to count at this election.
A truly historic photo!
A truly historic event!
you owe me a beer cause the one I was drinking just went up my nose & all over the desk!
IIRC they are just voting on the representative that will write their constitution and determine what offices etc will be elected.....No actual national office holder elected at this time....The Kurd already have a parliament and are electing to it....There may be some local, mayors etc am not sure on that one.
ROTFL!!! Hilarious!
I'm in the same boat....I just said earlier tonight...I don't even know who's running or if they have a "platform." Then I laughed thinking, when have I ever concerned myself with another country's elections, or who all was running, or what their platforms were! I just think we want so much for the best for these people, so that all our military has done, the lives lost, isn't in vain.
The first election in Afghanistan in its history; the first free election in Iraq in 50 years.
Freedom....brought to the world courtesy of the U.S.A.
Damn, I'm feeling mighty proud.
LOL...*snicker*
Reuters need to venture into SE Michigan... specifically Dearborn and the Chaldean community in Highland Park.
The emotion is raw. The couple I mentioned earlier said after they cast their vote it hit them.
They had voted.
