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.

Look at their faces! I think the only reason the media even went there was because they thought they were going to capture mass murder on camera. Instead, they captured the people of Iraq voting with all their hearts.

Estimates now are 72% by Reuters, if I'm not mistaken!!

Thats what I was thinking but wasn't to sure.

Did you "fix things" in that short a time? Wow!

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

It's amazing when you begin to contemplate how staggeringly inaccurate "conventional wisdom", at least, as reflected by the predominate strain of thought expressed by the press corps and political/military analysts, has been over the course of the past year.

The Shia', contrary to the baseless assertions made by innumerable media pundits, did not vote in lockstep with the desires of Ayatollahs Sistani or Abdel-Aziz Hakim...

The people of Iraq turned out in dramatic numbers, despite the recurrent threats of violence and political intimidation...

Finally, the seemingly ubiquitous danger of civil strife erupting among Iraq's various ethnic/tribal/religious sects has not yet come to fruition.

The naysayers have gotten it wrong in almost every respect, up to this point in time.

Why they continue to make these prognostications-which are never borne out by the realities on the ground-is beyond my comprehension.

Anyone griping about the Iraqi Election are actually griping about "Free Will" and "Free Choice".

Mentally log these dopes and vote them out to Dascheland.

Commentators? FReep the b*stards.

Actors? Don't pay to see their cr*p!

Its oh so simple.....the looney left has been doing it for decades.

Typical Iraqis/Arabs, though: Fox showed a bunch of smiling guys who had just voted . . . firing their pistols in the air :)

You can take the Iraqi out of the desert but you . . . well, you know.

I need to coin a new word for the ages: PEIST - Post Election Iraqi Selection Trauma - afflicts Baathists, Al Qaeda Islamists and Leftists everywhere.

The elections have not happened and are a clear victory to our beloved leader, Saddam.

The DUers can't be up because they all drank koolaid earlier. If we're lucky, they'll sleep through the decade.

[Claytay]

Let's see them put those pistols to use against the insurgents.

I think when there's too much good news the MSM can't contain it all.

And the people who did this to the kid will have a different fate awaiting them. David prophesied, of Jesus: "He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall execute the heads of many countries." (Psalm 110:6)
