Words fail me. I'm all misty-eyed. Thanks for the ping.
Kerry, Kennedy, Drayton, Biden, Clinton, etc. and the MSM must just be sick about the great stuff happening in Iraq today! Great day for W and America!
Powerful!
Good pictures.
Has anyone watched ABC News today? How many funerals for US soldiers killed in Iraq are they showing? I'll bet Peter Jennings is glad the elections weren't held on a weekday. He's got 24 hours to get rid of the smell of puke from his breath.
A bad, bad day for Democrats!!
This is the best picture.
THANK YOU! Wonderful contribution :) BTTT
I thought the photo of the voter who got shot in the face was pretty profound, but it's too bloody for mass public consupmtion (you know, just like that video we aren't allowed to see anymore from when a couple airplanes flew into some buildings).
We should temper our enthusiasm, though - reports from the ground indicate that some voters had to wait in line. And if we learned anything from Barbara Boxer, it's that waiting in line to vote is tantamount to tyranny.
Beyond question!
thank you!
Iraqi Police celebrate hrs before the polls close in Baghdad.
Calling Mr Moore, Mr Boxer and Kennedy...
I am spending this afternoon rewatching my video of Allawi's visit to the US last September - his address to Congress; the Rose Garden Press Conference and his address at Turtle Bay. So much that he and President Bush said, and were scoffed at by "journalists," has come to pass. Ha!
Here is a note that was just posted on an Iraqi blog.
~Greetings Friends,
I bow in respect and awe to the men and women of our people who, armed only with faith and hope are going to the polls under the very real threats of being blown to pieces.
These are the real braves; not the miserable creatures of hate who are attacking one of the noblest things that has ever happened to us.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
Iraq will be O.K. with so many brave people, it will certainly O.K.; I can say no more just now; I am just filled with pride and moved beyond words. People are turning up not only under the present threat to polling stations but also under future threats to themselves and their families; yet they are coming, and keep coming.
Behold the Iraqi people; now you know their true metal. We shall never forget the meanness of these bas
s. After this is over there will be no let up, they must be wiped out.
It is our duty and the duty of every decent human to make sure this vermin is no more and that no more innocent decent people are victimized.
My condolences to the Great American people for the tragic recent losses of soldiers. The blood of Iraqis and Americans is being shed on the soil of Mesopotamia; a baptism with blood. A baptism of a lasting friendship and alliance, for many years to come, through thick and thin, we shall never forget the brave soldiers fallen while defending our freedom and future.
This is a very hurried message, while we are witnessing something quite extraordinary. I myself have voted and so did members of my family. Thank Godfor giving us the chance.
Salaam for now,Alaa
Who said they were? They don't care about people. They care about power.
