Fox News still has their Baghdad web cam up, but I'm not getting a feed from it.

Anyone else want to try their luck?

Whe Bush announced the plan for early elections in Iraq, I thoguth he had screwed the pooch..that he was giving in to his incessant Dem critics. I figured it would take 5 years to pacify and de-Baatisize the country, and restore some services..otherwise we'd end up with another a failed country. I believed the Iraqis could pull it off..just not this soon.. I wonder if Bushg knew about Allawi back then. The guy's been magnificent..he's amde it possible. I don't think we yetknow 5% of what he's managed to accomplish..

from a blog:

"Now, and thanks to other humans, not from my area, religion and who don't even speak my language, I and all Iraqis have the real chance to make the change. Now I OWN my home and I can decide who's going to run things in it and how and I won't waste that chance. Tomorrow as I cast my vote, I'll regain my home. I'll regain my humanity and my dignity, as I stand and fulfill part of my responsibilities to this part of the large brotherhood of humanity. Tomorrow I'll say I'M IRAQI AND I'M PROUD, as being Iraqi this time bears a different meaning in my mind. It's being an active and good part of humanity. Tomorrow I and the Iraqis that are going to vote will rule, not the politicians we're going to vote for, as it's our decision and they'll work for us this time and if we don't like them we'll kick them out! Tomorrow my heart will race my hand to the box. Tomorrow I'll race even the sun to the voting centre, my Ka'aba and my Mecca. I'm so excited and so happy that I can't even feel the fear I though I would have at this time. "I can't wait until tomorrow." Source: Free Iraqi

I think he might be thanking the coalition...yeah us!

I felt that it was a small answer, now, I know that it wasn't.

No, madchen. Big answer. Now we have this moment. Two presidents who believe in America and Americans and what it, and they, stand for. I do not think this is accidental even though love of our country was not always exclusively the province of Republicans. Now, however, it seems that it is.

Just heard the insurgents slashed the tires on 30 vans meant to carry Iraqis off to vote. Darn them.

Maybe it's premature to come to a definitive conclusion, but I'm beginning to suspect that threatening people days before they vote isn't a very effective campaign strategy.
