Chuck Schumer: U.S. 'Imposing' Elections on Iraq
Newsmax ^ | December 5 2005

Posted on 12/05/2005 1:09:57 PM PST by jmc1969

Sen. Charles Schumer is predicting failure for Iraq's democratically-elected government, complaining that the vote next week to determine the country's new parliament is being "imposed" on the Iraqi people by the U.S.

"There will be no government in Iraq the way they're trying to structure it now," the New York Democrat told WABC-TV's "Behind the News" on Sunday. "They're going to have these elections but that's sort of being imposed on them."

Schumer questioned the legitimacy of the Iraqi vote despite sky-high turnouts for the country's January and October elections, which saw a higher percentage of voter participation than in U.S. elections.

My God! What a complete and utter ass! They won't be happy until they cause a civil war in Iraq. I can't believe how completely negative these people are.

Schumer has apparently decided that the key to immortality is to oppose, denigrate and criticize everything the President does. I can't imagine that his raving is taken seriously anywhere. Even Hillary is smarter than he is.

"There's three groups in Iraq and they all hate one another - the Kurds, the Shiites and the Sunnis . . . As long as these three groups are asked to come together in an army, they're not going to fight as a cohesive force...

I seem to recall a similar argument used in WWII against racial integration of the US military...

The dems will go to any length they can to label Iraq a failure. Not shocking given that is what they have staked their entire political future upon.

I swear, this is the worst politcal strategy ever.

Then again, the only real strategic move the dems made in 05 was bitching about the weather, so I'm not surprised that creepy rich old guys like soros still feed this dolt talking points.

Yep.

We're forcing those people to risk suicide bombers at polling places for a government they don't want.

I'm sure the Devil has a place in Hell reserved for Chuckie, but until then, I hope you choke on the next Mike you swallow.

We should stop imposing elections on New York. After all we have seen what it gets us.

Him and Rangle. They are both useful idiots. Give them the talking points and watch them go to work. Sickening.
