The motto of the insurgency and America's left: Give us a dictatorship, or give us death.

Reuters

Sat Jan 29, 3:50 AM ET

BAQUBA, Iraq (Reuters) - A suicide car bomb exploded on Saturday close to a U.S. and Iraqi security center near a polling station in the Iraqi town of Khanaqin, northeast of Baghdad, an election commission official in the province said.

Abdul Jaleel Adel initially said the polling station had been targeted but later modified this to say the target may have been the security center. There was no immediate word on casualties.

U.S. forces sealed off the site.

Over the past week, dozens of polling stations in Iraq have been attacked by insurgents trying to sabotage Sunday's polls.

Agree. They are exactly like vultures, hoping for lots of fireworks. I'll bet a car backfire will warrant a News Alert.

By Monday, the Dems and the MSM will make this blast seem like Hiroshima.

Bastards.

It just ticks me off to no end to hear this and recall all those pansy-assed Libs complaining that Republican activists wielding video cameras suppressed the vote in some areas.

I was hoping FOX would have someone else other than Rita Cosby covering the Iraq elections. Seems like she makes this more of a soap opera than an election. MHO.

If its limited to 3 to 5 car bombs with limited wounded.. id say its a good thing.. They will strike early to prevent turnout.

Baghdad, central and western part of the city. More details to follow.

This has been predicted where violence will be present during the elections.
