Blair was somewhat limited in what he could say, in light of the British losses today.
I imagine his statement was toned down before he came on air.

Zarqawi didnt carry his home town! bwhahaha.

"Most Iraqis were enthusiastic as they lined up at the ballot boxes, even turning out in the hundreds in the Jordanian town of Zarqa, the hometown of Iraq's most feared terrorist leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, election officials said.

All those Iraqi dudes look like Republicans to me. Let's feed them some BBQ and beer and see what happens. Hide your women and their Harleys.

A particularly good DU post--they're trying to move on to other topics over there but some deadheadenders are workin it:

All the media keeps talking about is how happy the Iraqis are, how high turnout was, and how "freedom" has spread to Iraq. I had to turn off CNN because they kept focusing on the so-called "voters" and barely mentioned the resistance movements at all. Where are the freedom fighters today? Are their voices silenced because some American puppets cast a few ballots? I can't believe the Iraqis are buying into this "democracy" bullshit. They have to know that the Americans don't want them to have power, because they know that Bush is in this for the oil, and now that he finally has it he's not going to let it go. This election is a charade. The fact is that the Iraqis have suffered during the past two years more than any people on earth at the hands of the American gestapo. Maybe they're afraid and felt they had to vote. That's the only way I can explain it to myself. OR--I just thought of this--maybe they're smiling because they're using the Americans own game to defeat them. They're voting in candidates who they know will widen the resistance, take the fight to the streets, and finally drive the occupying forces out of their country. Perhaps they're smiling because--right under the American's noses--they're planting the seeds of a bigger and more effective resistance movement. Wouldn't that be fitting? Use *'s own tools against them? We can only pray that this is the case. Becuase if it's not--and if the Iraq vote is seen as a success that spread "freedom"--the world is screwed. Bush's inaugural speech left little doubt that he has other countries on his list to spread "freedom" to. They will be his next targets, and the world will burn because of it. Let's hope the resistance got voted in, or if not, they only increase the fight and take down those who betrayed their country today by voting in this fraud election.

For those of you who thought they weren't quite delusional enough : )

BTW Fox has been showing Geraldo's comments about the insurgency while viewing the body of a young woman who was killed by a suicide bomber. Say what you want about him, when he's right he's right.

And they wonder why they are tagged as being unpatriotic and/or anti American.

I think they consider being called patriotic a badge of honor, yet they bitch and cry about it as a rhetorical device.

When I read that post, I think of Geraldo's rant (and I mean that in a good way) next to the woman's body in the pickup truck.

What are they fighting for? Why are they doing this? Do they really think that killing civilians is a brave act?

DU? Any answers?

Jamie Rubin who is on Fox ...just compared todays Iraqi election to the Nazis winning an election.

He was laughing about his snide comment.
