Let's get two things straight:
1. Iraquis voting (no matter how many) = GOOD
2. How we got there = F%CKED AS ALL GET OUT!
This IS the most expensive election in history.

mrdobs...
... wrong or not - that's what the U.S. and the rest of the world had at the time...
... and Bush admitted that it contained incorrect data - yet the Dem's say that Bush never admits he's been wrong?!!!
Even so - look at the third or forth paragraph of that report - it's speaks of previous Iraqi history about it's ties to terrorism... Iraq was neck-deep in it ... at least Saddam and his regime was - along w/his murderous sons and henchman...
... and those simple facts are what Bush, ... KERRY (the guy on the intelligence committee), Kennedy (the... oooaahh, chappaquiddick murderor)... Barbara Boxer and a load of other Dem's and Repub's all agreed on when the U.S. went to war.
You can bitch about the money spent - the deaths of Americans, coallition forces, Innocent Iraqis etc. etc... alllllll day long - these are valid humane points....
... but drop the conspiracy Michael Moore-ish bullshit, drop the painful negativity that holds the military in a bad light and kills their morale - drop the negative 'whoop-de-doo' attitude about the Iraqi's for the first time in 50 years having a historical day of democracy...
... this continued desire to see failure by Bush's admin. is disgusting... it's like the U.S. is still in an election year.

not for nothing......you have to admit.......QBN leaving this up says something for us.....
we actually have mostly been civil in this poli-thread.....
I wonder......could it be we can have this conversation because we live in democracy... don't you think thats what the iraqis hope for......to be able to hate their leader and not have to be beheaded because of it.
oh snap. no he didn't.
yes he did.

at least be happy for the 8 million is all I am saying.
Those 8 million just want peace and to live with choice like you and today represented that. Stop pulling for and reporting loss, failure and death at the sake of urging anti-American sentiment. it's quite old and obviously doesn't work. it didn't work for Kerry and its not working for you in Iraq.

plusone, for the last time, I am glad that 8 million people voted in iraq, do you not get that? Maybe their country will see some peace soon.
I am unsure how I was inflammatory, I saw a couple of posts where people were commending me on my patience.

cola,
will you marry me? are you the only hot republican woman in new york?
and if you aren't republican.....I don't care......you are still hot.

wow and this thread keeps going and going...
i'm very impressed with cola's points but i don't think the issues are so black and white.
but those tiny bit of images you saw on tv weren't baghdad iraq's voting. those few snapshots of the 9 million were of the northern kurds-but don't get me wrong, i am excited for them. the roots have started, and it's about time, this is the only other way to right the wrongs, you have war or you have politics, it's very simple. but that's not what i'm worried about.
what i'm worried about is what are we going to do when 100,000+ war hardened military guys and gals all come back from the army and the marines and now they are 26, retired and mad as hell that they put their life on the line for their country and now they can't find a job working at mcdonalds...
it took timoty mcvey 4 years to crack after iraq I, then he did the oklahoma bombing...
and i'm worried, what if we continue this method of global expansion, with the whole world as our feeding trough. what happens then? are you saying you agree we should just turn all the other nations to gap wearing, burger king eating, american clones...
that's what i'm worried about...

"without fear of repriasal..."
you have the clarity of a glaucoma afflicted cyclops. do you think if the case for 'nation creating', which this is, was presented as a larger package that issued the immediate removal of saddam hussein, instead of the removal of wmd, abu gharib would have the same impact? if you send troops in on a lie, weak evidence, you secure the oil ministry, bomb innocent civilians, then transform that into a freedom-spreading machine. Are those two motives equated in yr mind, war on terror/WMD = nation creating? infinite injustice
- dr_strangedub0
what price.... freedom?
yr last chance to answer a question clearly.....
- mrdobolina0
Freedom got a AK
- BZZZP0
is freedom that soneone else gives you (on a tight leash) actually freedom?
- robotron3k0
easy liquid, no good calling me names, i'm just stating 2/3 the pop. of iraq did NOT vote. just to show the blatant use of a forced vote does NOT mean success. sorry to break it to ya.

about a month ago i hung out with some guys who had just got back from iraq, and one of them had just gotten his orders to go over.
the one guy was part of the unit that took over saddam's palace and he had all these pictures of guys in his unit chilling in this solid gold jacuzzi.
but those guys were having a real tough time, just drinking every night since they got back, no jobs, nightmares...
