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.

These people are scum....chasing firefights. You got that right. Our son called yesterday from the green zone. He said it was getting a little noisier there but. it had really hit him what a historic time in Iraq's history he is witnessing.

Of course, it indulges the laziness of the bulk of the MSM reporters. They go over with an agenda to report all that is bad and the terrorists happily oblige by murdering people close enough that the reporters can take footage from their balconies.

Incidentally, everybody should send this link to their friends, even if these friends are not Freepers.

This is an historic moment, and we are privileged to be in on it. Invite everybody you know to the Democracy Party.

(If they're not Freepers, send them an e-mail with the URL cut and pasted.)

The terrorists stage most of the bombings etc in the vicintity of the media hotels, I've read.

And suddenly one rocket attack becomes breaking news! Even terrorists know how predictable the MSM is.

lol........if someone stubs their toe post election I'm sure Christine Amanpour will be all over it......reporting the misery and defeat

[prairiebreeze]

Hi PKM! Typical MSM propaganda. The terrorist jihadi's have a very strong friend in the western media.

"I'm so happy because I'm human," al-Najr, 38, said after casting a ballot for the first time in his life. "I get to say I'm human now."

Skerry is on MTP for an hour tomorrow with Russert. I won't watch but I'm sure he's going to badmouth this election.

"The firmness with which the people have withstood the late abuses of the press, the discernment they have manifested between truth and falsehood, show that they may safely be trusted to hear everything true and false, and to form a correct judgment between them."

Greta looking for the danger level.

She is looking for blood.

[tiredoflaundry]

you mean da misery of da feet.............lol

[cajungirl]

I wonder how many Americans would vote if we had to take the same risks these Iraqis are taking. I think not many. Heck, we complain about lines.

[silent_jonny]

I had the idea running around in my head for the past week, so viola.

Well it was very funny--well done!

[NorCalRepub]

but of course we won't take Wesley back now would we???? Send him over to Nadaer.......

Listen to this Fox producer...he was expecting more explosions.....the freaking ghouls.

Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne’er within him burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored , and unsung.

You were right. Sir Walter Scott.

Greta looking for the danger level. She is looking for blood.

They should shut off the 24/7 news cycle for two hours....the media is really harming their (tattered) reputation.

[livius]

Yes!!!!!

[Carolinamom]

Blue fingers to show who's already voted might not be such a bad thing to start at our own voting places......would eliminate some of those multiple voters so prevalent in the democrat ranks.
