"You know what's even cooler?... that so many FReepers are up this late watching the fledgling democracy in Iraq that our troops brought to pass..."
LOL, Yep, me way past my bedtime, last time I was up this late was our own elections. But it's so exciting, historic, like a mirror of our own fight for liberty, how can anyone sleep.
Fox News just pissed me off... they have a "Bloody Election" graphic. Fox News has enemies within the gate.
This Historic event helps our security at home!
I went to sleep on time. That lasted about 30 minutes. I got back up and decided to check into the live thread and even watched TV, which I rarely do. That was about 3 hours ago. I haven't been so keyed up since our own election.
I hope there is some way to communicate the interest in this to our troops over there, and to the Iraqis in general. All this 'it's all about oil' nonsense is shown to be a lie by this thread. Nobody here is even talking about oil. It's all about freedom and defeating terror.
Yep, Seabiscuit, it was almost 6am before I went to bed on our election night here in the States. And, here I am again, unable to sleep watching the excitement in Iraq. Thank God they don't have to worry about a bunch of idiots electing a treasonous traitor like Kerry at this point! ;-)
I'm still awake too. The best commentary has been right here. I've just been reading and praying for our leadership, for all of our brave men and women who are making this historic day come to pass and for all of those brave, Brave Iraqi people who are voting for THEIR future.
May God Bless them, our Military and the US of A.
