After months of criticism of President Bushs policy, gloomy press coverage that seemed to focus almost entirely on car bombs, and near panic on the part of some Congressional Democrats, we now have a useful barometer to assess the real state of affairs in Iraq - Thursdays historic and enormously successful parliamentary elections.
The third national plebiscite vote in just two years since Iraqs liberation from Saddam Hussein was largely free of violence and saw a turnout rate higher than most western nations.

I thought it was good to see a Senator standing up for a change.
I really like Kyl.

Amen, broham. I like to see guys like Kyl and Tancredo get emboldened enough to hoist their colors. They help to clear the air of the stench that vapid, Marxist media whores like Pelosi and Kennedy leave in our nostrils.

Speaking of football, anybody knows if Iraq made it to the World Cup?
