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.

You're right, DG. Part of the terrorist plan, IIRC, was to try to steal and destroy ballots on their way to counting stations. We must continue to pray that God will protect these good people and give the victory to freedom.

[Bahbah]

The position has been targeted, fired on and then the noise stopped rather abrubtly.

Sweet.

Is he scheduled to be on one of the Sunday shows today?

I wish an Iraqi expatriate with blue ink on her finger would encounter Senator Kennedy in a crowded public place.

Thank you Allegra for the reports, please stay safe, and thank you for your work in helping freedom spread in the mid-east.

Nah, Biden's been running around meeting with Iranians telling them our administration needs to grow up. Typical RAT traitor. I'm not even sure he's back in country yet from his overseas carpings.

The media talking points are out this morning....CNN is saying we should wait and see if the election was a success because of the level of violence. MSNBC is hyping up the fact that the voter turnout is low in Fallujah that the election is a failure..

I can't believe what I am hearing.

"Why don't we see the human shields at the polls in
Iraq? They were willing to protect Iraq from bombs
before the war started. Why aren't they protecting
Iraq now?"

That is an excellent point. Going to write to Letters to the Editor for that.

[prairiebreeze]

Sure you can (believe it). You didn't really expect anything else. Good morning favorite human-dog.

Who is this idiot DNC pollster on FNC right now?

And why should we care what he thinks? They are completely tone-deaf on elections in THIS country.

[Dutchgirl]

Lots of amazing stuff to wade through, don't miss post 83, and don't forget to freep the aljazeera poll, at post 292!!

[Dog]

I wonder who's more disappointed today? The thugs in Iran or the Dems?

And the American media.

[Claytay]

Oh-no Dems talking points. Only 70% Shiite and 60% Kurds isn't good enough. Its all a failure.

[mainepatsfan]

Can you imagine if some GOP senator during World War II had done the same thing that Biden is doing today?

Speaking of Biden, is he the most arrogant Dem senator?

"Why don't we see the human shields at the polls in Iraq? They were willing to protect Iraq from bombs before the war started. Why aren't they protecting Iraq now?"

To the leftist "human shields", saddam and the terrorists good, America evil.

[mainepatsfan]

I put the media under the Dems category.

[Dutchgirl]

willing to protect Iraq from bombs

Don't you remember, the Iraqi people kindly invited the wankers to go home.

FNC coverage has been positively estatic about how well the election is going. I don't watch the other channels, but I can just guess how they are slanting their coverage.

[Dog]

I hate the media.

[Allegra]

Before I went to bed I read the email posted here from a US soldier requesting prayer, whose duty is to protect these voting machines and ballots. The election isn't over and the ballots are not yet safely counted. Please keep this day and event surrounded by prayer (as requested.)

Bears repeating.

We're all doing that here and we all have soldier friends from our base who are out there guarding the polling places.

We are also caught up in the excitement, though. This is a great day for freedom!
