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.
Checking ID and marking the people who have voted?
They are clearly trying to intimidate the voters!
I am sure we were sitting there waiting for them to attack.
I saw Mr. Potato announce this "exclusive" last week.
Saw Russert on MSNBC earlier today commenting on the Iraq election and his brow was furrowed in concern and check it out....I swear Tim got a shade or 2 darker hair color. I was thinking it was for the election coverage and had forgotten he may have colored his hair for "dear John"! What a joke. LOL
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Polls opened early Sunday in Iraq's first free elections in a half-century.
At polling stations across the country, voters began filtering into the polling stations, as poll workers checked their identifications.
Iraqi President Ghazi al-Yawer was one of the first set to cast his vote at the convention center serving as election headquarters in the heavily fortified Green Zone.
Something about this media coverage is really bothering me. The media's hope for things to go really bad today is just palpable. Damn them all...
Boxer, Kennedy, Kerrey, Biden, just of few of the members of the Baathist wing of the Democrat party.
Wow. I drank dozens of Shiner Bock in my short time living in San Antonio...never had one of those. What's it like?

Go Iraq...go!
Less than 48 hours left before the people of Iraq experience free decision making for the first time in their country's modern history.
It's a moment of pure freedom but still surrounded by lots of dangers just like any beautiful rose surrounded by spikes.
There is fear from the enemies of freedom who have their weapons already prepared to intimidate us and stop us from choosing our future.
But at the same time we're full of hope as we know that we've put our feet on the right track and even if we make a bad choice once, we know that we will have the chance to reevaluate the situation again.
No more tyrants ruling the country for decades.
We're standing before a historic moment and I won't be exaggerating if I said that it's an important moment for the whole world; we're standing before a crossroads and everyone should watch and learn from the rebirth of Iraq.
Regardless of the winners in the se elections, those who opposed the elections and resisted the change will have to deal with the new reality.
In 48 hours from now, the dying dictatorships and their filthy tools, the terrorists, will find themselves facing an elected legitimate government in Iraq.
The tyrants nightmare is becoming reality, now they will have to deal with the scariest word in their dictionaries; THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE.
The terrorists have challenged the bravery of the Iraqi people but they messed with the wrong people. The people have accepted the challenge; democracy and elections are not a luxury for Iraqis, it's an issue of life or death. And the terror brutal campaign has only made the people more determined to go on with the change.
The results of some recent polls that have shown how determined Iraqis are to hold the elections might have surprised you, but they weren't a surprise for us; we're not the kind of people that kneel to terror and the sights of blood and beheadings.
Saddam had tried all tools of oppression, killing and torture he could find against our people (including WMD's) but he failed to make the people believe in his hateful regime. And that's why the people abandoned him and now, he and his regime are just a bad old tale from the past.
On Sunday, the sun will rise on the land of Mesopotamia. I can't wait, the dream is becoming true and I will stand in front of the box to put my heart in it.
Mohammed.
I agree. I hope they get out and vote. We won't be doing this again.
Its really good. Shiner's own version of a pilsner.
See those tanks over there and all those people with guns? Right over there. ;-)
