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.

It's sad but not surprising. I'm sure the media over there are trying to send a message to the terrorists that they need more attacks.

Newsday reports Chad Pennington is expected to be fully recovered from shoulder surgery in time for training camp. (Updated 01/25/2005). ...

When al Zarqawi turned loopy and told the Iraqi people to forget about freedom, he doomed his insurgency.

Makes one wonder if we didn't actually capture Zarqawi a couple of weeks ago and then created and released such a ridiculous premise on audio. All in an effort to ramp up support for free elections. /tin foil

If he'd been healthy for that Pittsburgh game....well you know.

Listening to NPR, they're in full spin: "...low turnout among sunni's, is this election legitimate?". Whoever is reporting is doing her best to spin, however her guests are correcting her biased...lol, funny to hear her frustrated attempts.

Just woke up -- sounds like things went well? I heard about the suicide bomber who managed to blow himself up in line (about 1:15 CST). Anything else? I'll go back and scan through the posts.

Crossed a low bar?! He and others were saying right up until today that holding the election at all was impossible and it should be postponed. For pete's sake. Fineman's delusional.

[Miss Marple]

Fineman. Feh!

Ollie North also said somthing interesting about that 12,000 troop # Kennedy called for to come home. That is the exact same # that we ramped up for the Iraq elections.

Like more terrorist insurgent attacks will stop the growth of freedom in Iraq? The enemy has lost his power to intimidate. He's been exposed as the old man behind the curtain. Make no mistake: neither the Baathists nor the Al Qaeda Islamists can argue most Iraqis still back them. They're left to wither and die on the vine. And that may be the best news of all once this election is behind us.

I just heard Jesse Jackson say that "Today we have democracy out of occupation at gunpoint." Discuss.

Anything else?

MSM, Liberals, Saddamites, and Zarqawi terrorists getting beat like a one legged duck at a cock fight.

[mainepatsfan]

Do we have any numbers on the Sunni turnout?

Watch it, slappy. I just got off the palantir with Sauron, and he has his EYE on you.

I guess Germany got democracy at gunpoint, but they aren't going to invade Poland again. Japan got democracy at gunpoint, but they aren't going to attack Pearl Harbor.

Now THAT is what I was wanting to see!

Thank You, Jesus!
