Explain the games...

You don't know what you are writing about.
Were any of these games like the ones that the Chicago mob used to elect John Kennedy(D)?
Did bums vote in more than one ward?
Did the recently deceased rise up and vote?
Stop being a crybaby loser and get on with your life!

LIBERAL EUROPE REPORTS THE NE

LIBERAL OF EUROPE REPORTS THE NEWS
If you go back to the very beginning to the reasons for and progress being made in Iraq, these have been so distorted, it is difficult to turn on a penny and explain this.
The same thing is and was true here in the US. The picture presented by FOX and CNN were as if you were viewing two different events.

CNN talked primarily about the terrorist attacks and very little about the turn out or the attitude of the people of Iraq. [I went to bed around 3:30 so I have no idea when they started to report other topics concerning the election process.]
FOX on the other hand also reported these attacks but spent most of it time talking about the turnout, security in place, how brave the people of Iraq were, and how we were witnessing a historical moment.

Today I find the coverage by FOX was both fair and balanced and much more accurate on what was actually occurring in Iraq than what CNN presented it viewers.
In the US, this might explain why CNN continues to loose market share and viewership to FOX. It might also explain the recent outburst of Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, who compared FOX to Hitler.

It would seem maybe being compared to Hitler might not be as bad as some Americans might perceive it to be as if you remember so was President Bush. I guess it has to do with the prism you choose to view world events from. Hitler was in fact a very historical figure but for all the wrong reasons.

I wonder if Jesse ''The Rhymin Reverend'' Jackson will go down to the Sunni Triangle and tell us about those disenfranchised Sunnis. Awwww, poor Sunnnis. Well, the Sunnis shot themselves in the foot. Though the fear of terrorist attacks were a main concern for the SUnnis, they also planned to boycott the election. And now, they want to partake in the goverment without voting in the said election. Tsk tsk, whiny babies. They must have taken a lesson from the Democrats!



Germans are anti-democratic? Mein Gott! Better keep an eye on Braunau, Austria.

I already said it on the other thread: Well done to the Iraqi people who turned up in great numbers.

But according to CNN, at least 25 people were killed today and more than 70 wounded. So I think that one should not be too overexcited. The elections might have been a significant event but things can still go wrong if the violence is not brought under control. I've read the words 'Mission Accomplished' before and I hope that this time we are a bit more realistic.
But as I've said, well done to the Iraqi people who showed that they like democracy.

VINDICATED , STUNNING SUCCESS

WHEN you heard about the stunning success of the Iraqi elections, were you thrilled? Did you see it as a triumph for democracy and for the armed forces of the United States that have sacrificed and suffered and fought so valiantly over the past 18 months to get Iraq to this moment?
Or did you momentarily feel an onrush of disappointment because you knew, you just knew, that this was going to redound to the credit of George W. Bush? This means you, Michael Moore. I'm talking to you, Teddy Kennedy.
It's a big fat gigantic winning vindication of the guy that the Moores and Kennedys and millions of others still can't believe anybody voted for. And they know it. And it's killing them.

Case in point: the junior Eeyore from Massachusetts, John Forbes Kerry, who had the distinct misfortune of being booked onto ''Meet the Press'' yesterday only 90 minutes after the polls closed in Iraq ?— and couldn't think of a thing to say that didn't sound negative.
''No one in the United States should try to overhype this election,'' said the man who actually came within 3 million votes of becoming the leader of the Free World back in November.

At the worst possible time to express pessimistic skepticism, Kerry did just that. The election only had a ''kind of legitimacy,'' he said. He said he ''was for the election taking place'' (how big of him!), but then said that ''it's gone as expected.''
Kerry perhaps saying he was for the election before he was against it?
Kerry views the results in Iraq as being less legitimate than, say, the opinions about U.S. conduct in Iraq as expressed to him by ''Arab leaders.''
In a truly jaw-dropping moment, he told Tim Russert approvingly of his conversations with those self-same Arab leaders ?— Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and King Abdullah of Jordan among them ?— who expressed concerns about the Bush administration's approach in Iraq.
No, I'm not kidding.

Yesterday was a day for Democrats and opponents of George W. Bush to swallow their bile and retract their claws and join just for a moment in celebration of an amazing and thrilling human drama in a land that has seen more than its share of thrilling human drama over the past 5,000 years.

But you just couldn't do it, could you?

Losers.
