Looks like more people are showing up at the polls. I really didn’t expect much activity in the first couple of hours, but it seems to be coming alive now. Around nine in the morning is when Baghdad gets started.
At the moment, it’s quiet on the outside again. Black Hawks and Chinooks are patrolling the skies as they do on any ordinary day. Haven’t even seen any of the fighter jets go over in the last couple of hours.
They’re going to vote….sorry to disappoint you, MSM, but the Iraqis are just late risers. I think we’re going to see increasing crowds at the polls from here on in.
Thanks!
Wonderful
Chalabi just said that the momentum of the Iraqis voting will create its own security. Great line!
I think we can tolerate your absence for a few minutes to do work, no more though. ;-)
WooHoo!! Vote, Iraqi's, VOTE!!
Geraldo reporting on Fox now very long lines and UNBELIEVABLE turnout of voters even in Bagdad. Geraldo says he is very choked up! They are coming out in droves even with some bomb blasts being heard!
David Lee Miller, Foxnews reports some noise in Mosul, could be Mortars but getting a good turnout where he is, a positive report!
