God Bless our troops and may god bless the voters in Iraq as they head to the polls.

" Richard Engle MSNBC has just reported, the polls in Iraq have officially closed.
"
Last night on NBC Nightly News, they aired an Engle report about how things in Iraq might not be so bad after all.
NBC's excuse for the 24/7 negativity on Iraq was that conditions were not safe enough for them to venture out and see the improvements until recently.
NBC actually showed Iraqis at a western style fashion show, working out in a gym after work and the booming Iraqi stock exchange.
Apparently, not everyone was afraid to venture out.
No problem. I got these from defenselink.mil. There's not very many pics up yet.
Thanks again. I have found a few pictures on

Police Seize Forged Ballots Headed to Iraq From Iran
***************************************
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec. 13 - Less than two days before nationwide elections, the Iraqi border police seized a tanker on Tuesday that had just crossed from Iran filled with thousands of forged ballots, an official at the Interior Ministry said.
The tanker was seized in the evening by agents with the American-trained border protection force at the Iraqi town of Badra, after crossing at Munthirya on the Iraqi border, the official said. According to the Iraqi official, the border police found several thousand partly completed ballots inside.
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said the Iranian truck driver told the police under interrogation that at least three other trucks filled with ballots had crossed from Iran at different spots along the border.

BARWANA VOTERS
Betty Dawisha and Cindi Sheehan. The positive vs negative. Life vs Death. Brilliant!
Seventy percent of Baghdad is now controlled SOLELY by Iraqi forces. Seventy percent!
Wow! That is better than I ever expected. Those who say Iraq is going badly really need to look at the stats. And, I hope our President will trumpet this stuff during the SOTU.
