Dan Rather and Peter Jennings are pulling out their hair trying to figure out how they can hide the Iraqui voter story.

Suicide bomber emboldened and enabled by American "Traitors" Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, etc. and the entire Democrat "treason" Party!!! This suicide bomber blew himself up and lost his hislife. the American people should rise up and destroy the current Democrat Party in the voting booth.

The left continues to be negative about the whole situation, ie... no electricity, no water, billions of dollars, blah blah blah. Even some dems must be sick and tired of hearing the pessimism.

Do you believe CBS sent Dan Rather to Iraq to report on the election? How can they keep sending this old stooge out to report when no one believes anything he says .

Don't worry, they'll find some way to bury it.

This time though, even their most febrile efforts will be for naught.

The elemental truth of this story is simply too powerful to conceal from the American public.

I thought someone was being wry with 'graphic photo' warning and was going to show pictures of happy Iraqi voters. Certainly that's how the MSM would view it!

When I see grisly pictures like the one above, sick as it is, and sick as this is going to sound...it makes me smile, as I know that there's one less muslim extremist, nut case in the world now.

Additionally, it makes me think, "I wonder if his/her trip to "meet Allah" was a pleasant one?", and if the searing heat of that blast, was as hot as his/her eternal life in HELL is going to be?!

They were hoping he'd get himself killed in the line of duty, thus becoming a hero/martyr to broadcast excellence, rather than fading into a well-deserved disgrace/obscurity.

I could see it happening that way, but I dont think CBS is that smart.

Perhaps the Iraqi government needs to ban cars more often....it forces these foreign terrorists to scratch themselves off our list.

We have voters who won’t show up if it’s raining, or it’s too hot, too cold, good show on TV…
Once again I wonder what would our turnout be if people were trying to shoot up the polling places?

Imagine any American being so determined to vote that they would step over body parts to get into the polling place.....

Hats off to the Iraqi people!

...Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, claimed responsibility, boasting that "lions from the martyrs' brigade ... inflicted wounds on the enemy."

This needs to be posted on every wall, website, and TV screen in Iraq, along with this statement:

Who is "The Enemy" that al-Z is inflicting wounds on?

YOU, the Iraqi people!

Post #1 picture....

"...GET THIS ONE: A sucicide bomber rushed a voting booth at a school and his bomb detonated prematurely - blowing him to bits in front of the school. Now, all the people coming out of the school after voting are walking past the 'grease spot' on the school grounds and SPITTING ON IT as they go by in DEFIANCE!"

Lots of good news. John Kerry is very, very depressed. Ted Kennedy could become suicidal . .

"Even in Fallujah, the Sunni city west of Baghdad that was a militant stronghold until a U.S. assault in November, a steady stream of people voted, confounding predictions. Lines of veiled women clutching their papers waited in line."

Sunni clerics may have to look for new work……….

I caught about 3 minutes of Dan Rather doing his best to downplay the Iraqi elections and scare people from the polls Saturday. He, MSM, EU and the 60's leftovers are so out of touch it's scary.
