Rice says Iraqi election exceeds expectations

By Anne Gearan, Associated Press, 1/30/2005 08:39


WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the Iraq elections are ''going better than expected'' Sunday, despite conflicting reports about the extent of voter turnout in areas plagued by intimidation and violence.

''Every indication is that the election in Iraq is going better than expected,'' Rice said on ABC's ''This Week.''

I'm not only thrilled for the Iraqi people but also for Sec. of State Rice for having the opportunity to shine w/all this good news. Contrary to the handwringers, President Bush was RIGHT about all people wanting freedom. This is truely a seismic shift in the Middle East.
