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.
Thanks for the update. God Bless you and all the good guys over there risking your lives!
The Democrats always miss golden opportunities. Even ones handed to them.
Four more hours...
Guess that Reuters is mentioning that 13 people were killed in Suicide attacks in all their picture captions?!?!?!
Jerks!
Denny Crane: "I want two things. First God and then Fox News."
Rivera: "An exciting day, an historic day here in Iraq. It is the dawn of freedom....You folks who live in the United States who are watching this, just be proud. Be proud of this. This is amazing. This was inconceivable, wasn't it, during the days of Saddam Hussein. Look how far this country has come. It will heal its wounds. The terrorists are going to lose."
Haven't cared much for Rivera since his famous "Willowbrook" piece that made him famous, but have to admit his words and enthusiasm, especially the last part got to me, ..really great stuff.
Foxnews just said that the AP is saying 27 have been killed.
Guess I should see what they are saying.
Polls close @ 5 PM-Baghdad.
Some might stay open later because they didn't open on time.
Iraqis wait to enter a polling station in Baghdad's Shiite enclave of Sadr City, Sunday, Jan. 30, 2005. Iraqis turned out to vote Sunday in their country's first free election in a half-century as insurgents made good on threats of violence, launching at least three deadly suicide bombings and heavy mortar strikes at polling stations. Just hours after polls opened, 17 people were killed. (AP Photo/Karim Kadim)

"AHa! The old blue finger ploy to weed out the terrorists and shoot them dead ploy.

This will put pressure on them (not sure how to display image:

Could possibly be someone in great fear of voting, who thinks if they totally cover themselves, the ones who threatened to kill them if they voted won't know their identity. Not saying it is...just a possibility.
Report I see says 17...
Thank you... Granted our population is 10 fold or more, rendering a comparable average fairly low, additionally , we are not 'at war' in the classic sense, yet the USA has it's share of places as unhealthy to visit as Fallujah is/was...
The total number of murdered American citizens speaks for itself...
toodle do, off to bed now...
Foxnews just said that the AP is saying 27 have been killed.
Sure hate hearing the number is up to 27! What very brave people these Iraqis have shown themselves to be. Guess the Dems didn't realize how much many of them DO appreciate our help!
Horrendo sounds like an old fashion liberal before the 60's ruined them, talking about justice and fair play.
LOL!
Caption: Peek-a-boo! I see you.
