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.

how dare we force the people of IRaq to select their own leadership - sez the party of pro-choice.
you tell 'em Chucky-poo!
Must be how this dipsh%t got into government
Some call it treason.
TREASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Schumer is the gutter snipe of the Senate.
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 is searching for a "soundbite".
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.
Can we question his patriotism now?
I seem to recall a similar argument used in WWII against racial integration of the US military...
The enemy within.
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.
Guess Chuckie is saying. Bring back Saddam. We should simply cut an run and let the people of Iraq go back to what they were doing.
How dare we stop Uday from raping young girls
How dare let the Iraqis have a democracy
How dare we let them vote for their future
Go To Hell Chuck !
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.
"Free Me"
"Vote DNC"
