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.
Thanks
lol.......course it is....i was replying to the post that showed the sign saying...."in case of an attack, go to your basements"........
Fox News explained it, but I really was not paying enough attention to explain it.
Well, as others had said, I wouldn't choose the polling place that has all the media set up because that would seem to be a prime target. And secondly, it seems logical that the terrorists would make early attacks in order to intimidate people from even thinking of voting. I probably wouldn't rush out to be among the first to vote at 7am. I'd wait a few hours and see how things went.
It's just after 7:30am in Baghdad now. I hear polls were opening at 7 in the morning.
I think there are basically two elections going on today. One for the national parliamentary thingy (technical term) and separate municipal elections in each city.
Glad to hear your reports!
One ballot for national, one for Local and the Kurds have a third ballot for some kind of special assembly for them.
Sounds too confusing for your average Dem voter.
The Corrupt Old Media never caught the part about the simultaneous local elections...i.e. the brilliant part...can't have greedy local politicians telling people not to vote that way!
ROTFL!! Great photoshop job!
Can you imagine liberals being handed two ballots? LOL
They'd freak out.
bbl
Allegra says the Iraqis are not early risers so things will be slow initially!
Which side is Michael Moore on in the Iraq election? He said the insurgents are the equivalent of our Founding Fathers.
But he hates our Founding Fathers because they were a bunch of "stupid white men" with guns who owned slaves and mistreated indians.
I understand that he would hate our troops because they are the equivalent of the Hessian mercenaries hired by the British in the Revolutionary War.
But aren't the oppressed people of Iraq the moral equivalent of the slaves and indians?
No, but I'll see if I can google one up later. I have to leave for work but will be back on in an hour or so.
Actually, that sounds kind of fun.
I patterned it after my own actions but in my case I'm rejoicing for the Iraqis and unca teddy is hoping for doom and gloom.
and the fake "water condensor" going down to break the Jap code.....would have said we were violating intl law
