I got the high quality vid loaded up. Hit the link below the image if you have broadband. (Feel free to ping your friends to the link. "My bandwidth is yours fellow FReepers!" I'll put it on my profile for future reference.)
In a related story early exit polling results of the ex-patriot vote indicate that John Kerry is still a loser.
Bump for later, thanks for the ping!!!
Ditto!
They're toast - and they know it. (Then again, maybe they don't...)
PARTY ON!
Thanks for the ping Tonk--I think I'm even more excited/anxious about their election than our own...prayers to all the troops and voters that this goes well. So much is riding on it.
Pictured here is Mehsin Imgoter, weeping after voting in Southgate, Michigan. His son was killed in the Shi'ite uprising against Saddam Hussein in 1991 and did not live to see a free Iraq. (Photo and description thanks to Hindrocket at Powerline blog.)
God bless our troops and our allies. May the terrorists feel the wrath of God today-starting in about 10 mins.

Go Iraq...go!
Less than 48 hours left before the people of Iraq experience free decision making for the first time in their country's modern history.
It's a moment of pure freedom but still surrounded by lots of dangers just like any beautiful rose surrounded by spikes.
There is fear from the enemies of freedom who have their weapons already prepared to intimidate us and stop us from choosing our future.
But at the same time we're full of hope as we know that we've put our feet on the right track and even if we make a bad choice once, we know that we will have the chance to reevaluate the situation again.
No more tyrants ruling the country for decades.
We're standing before a historic moment and I won't be exaggerating if I said that it's an important moment for the whole world; we're standing before a crossroads and everyone should watch and learn from the rebirth of Iraq.
Regardless of the winners in the se elections, those who opposed the elections and resisted the change will have to deal with the new reality.
In 48 hours from now, the dying dictatorships and their filthy tools, the terrorists, will find themselves facing an elected legitimate government in Iraq.
The tyrants nightmare is becoming reality, now they will have to deal with the scariest word in their dictionaries; THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE.
The terrorists have challenged the bravery of the Iraqi people but they messed with the wrong people. The people have accepted the challenge; democracy and elections are not a luxury for Iraqis, it's an issue of life or death. And the terror brutal campaign has only made the people more determined to go on with the change.
The results of some recent polls that have shown how determined Iraqis are to hold the elections might have surprised you, but they weren't a surprise for us; we're not the kind of people that kneel to terror and the sights of blood and beheadings.
Saddam had tried all tools of oppression, killing and torture he could find against our people (including WMD's) but he failed to make the people believe in his hateful regime. And that's why the people abandoned him and now, he and his regime are just a bad old tale from the past.
On Sunday, the sun will rise on the land of Mesopotamia. I can't wait, the dream is becoming true and I will stand in front of the box to put my heart in it.
Mohammed.
Let Freedom Ring bookmark!
I'm watching, and taping, this historic event. Seeing the faces of the ecstatic Iraqis has made me grab the Kleenex box to have it handy......my eyes keep leaking.
Those people have waited a long time for today; a day they only dreamed of for decades.
My thanks to all the military men and women who made this day possible, for giving the Iraqis the gift of Freedom.
I'd say the voter turn out despite the threats of violence is probably the biggest "Thank you" our Armed Forces could receive.
BTTT!!!!!
Hey Tonk, sKerry just told Tim Russert that he would sign Form 180. I'll believe it when I see it!
