That's the only reason I read the or watch the MSM. When they are forced to eat crow and try to wriggle negativity into it at the same time. F*****g worms.
Thanks for the link, very interesting.....
Mr. Ali Hassoon al-Badri said “everyone must realize that electing our representatives is a basic right for everyone and it is not a gift from anyone and that it draws the line between freedom and tyranny…”
Just heard a prediction on Fox that it might be 80 percent.
Hope they don't eat crow on that one.
Hell, I'll be happy with 60%
The pictures from Iraq are incredible. Lines and lines of people waiting patiently for their chance to vote. It's an historic day.
Meanwhile, CNN has live shots of the Fedex plane that got stuck in the mud.
Thanks for the ping!
Re#41 That they are. May karma bite them in a big way...
Of course. By tonights newscast, the Iraq election will be a 45 second story on CNN.
I think the karmic retribution has begun....
Barwana’s Voters Waiting in Line.
By mid-morning, the long and slow moving lines led to some problems with the crowd. At one point there was pushing and shoving between groups of voters, the poll works and Iraqi troops in the courtyard outside the polling station. An Iraqi soldier fired a few rounds in the air to get the crowd’s attention, and the problems quickly subsided after that. A few voters at the scene of the incident left, but the majority of those inside and the rest of the Iraqis queued outside remained in line. Some problems inside the voting center were resolved quickly by the poll workers, and the voting pace increased.
Captain Shannon Neller, Company Commander of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, ordered water, which belonged to the U.S. and Iraqi troops, to be handed out to the Iraqis waiting in the long lines. We handed out the bottles to the smiling crowd and much good will was reestablished.
Turnout is said to be high across the river in the sister city of Haqlaniyah. No reports are available from Haditha at this time.
Barwana, once part of Zarqawi self declared “Islamic Republic of Iraq”, is now the scene of al-Qaeda’s greatest nightmare: Muslims exercising their constitutional right to chose their destiny.
===================================
GOD bless the Iraqis as they take their God-given place to vote in a free democracy, AND GOD BLESS THE BRAVE COALITION TROOPS, who made this day possible. This is so historic and exciting. The history books 50 years from now will resound with today's milestone.
IN YOUR FACE, Murtha!! .. may it ever be thus
Agreeing with you in this Supplication, Dear Sister, and Thanking our Lord for His Mercies to our Troops.
Thank you for this Call to Prayer!
This is fantastic. Continued prayers for their safety and success.
