It is now 3 am in Iraq the polls will be opening in the next few hours as the world watches and hold's it breath. Iraq is about to undertake a historic vote.
Lets wish them well....... please post all comments and election photos to this thread.
Greta and her endless preoccupation w/the same cases and her same guest "experts" has become passe in my house. (BTW did you know that her husband, a lawyer naturally, worked for Kerry's campaign?)
The Iraqis have shown courage all along. It sort of puts me in awe. They keep signing up to be cops and soldiers, and keep getting killed.
I volunteer and will keep an ear on NBC etc. for a while this evening as I am without FoxNews at the moment. It's a dirty, dangerous job and I hope I come out alive, LOL!
And weeping for joy.....
Although I didn't even know about Kristinn's efforts, it makes me pleased as punch. I'm grinning from ear to ear and will bookmark that thread.
We will have to get a medal for you dear. Be careful, it is a jungle at NBC. They use miind control so try not to sit close to the tv.
You speak truth, Peach.
I hope the Iraqi's take a lesson from the Afghan people. They stood in line to vote...a bomb would go off and they'd disperse...only to return to the line to cast a ballot.
A U.S. Army soldier hangs a banner at a primary school scheduled to be used as polling station in the northern city of Mosul, on January 29, 2005. Insurgents vowing total war on Iraq (news - web sites)'s landmark polls killed 17 people on the eve of the vote and threatened a bloodbath on election day. Interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi urged the country's fractious religious and ethnic groups to defy 'enemies trying to break us and to break our world' and to vote in Iraq's first multi-party elections in half a century.

Yeah--I heard that! And that footage he showed was incredible--made it all the more delicious that when Saddam was found it was in a little hole in the ground!
Do you remember seeing how beautifully the Afghan women dressed? You'd see their high heeled shoes from under the voting booth curtain. Knowing how far they walked and how long they stood in line, that just touched me to see. For those women, it was such a high occasion that women did what we've always done -- they dressed up!
I won't watch either and I would not be surprised if he did.
Yes. Just check out the regular RAT Underground website and read that 'who is paying for freedom' tripe. It's coming in slow - but they're trying to keep up some sort of front...
Remember these guys? The MSM is the new WANKER CLASS...
Hope your TV survives--mine is getting real tired of me whacking it when they go too negative!!
Things that make ya go Hmmmmmmmm...
It's such a crime that the Afghan election didn't get the media "play" it deserved.
The whole event was miraculous...especially women voting!
Yes....Weeping with joy....I do believe we have some in this country whose feelings are so shallow they're incapable of those feelings.
