(CBS) A lot went right with the just-completed first free elections in Iraq in half a century.
...
Overall, Iraqis were brave and determined, and turned out to vote in large, heartening numbers.
...
The much maligned, newly trained Iraqi security forces put in charge of basic polling place protection performed far beyond general expectations.
...
American soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors once again delivered -- big time -- in hundreds of ways, large and small.
...
The insurgency failed to pull off a single "spectacular" on Election Day. There was not one cataclysmic event.

LOL...thanks fer defending my honor, Bill...MUD
Dan Blather said that?
I wouldn't believe it if I read it anywhere but here!
AGAIN I'll post WHO CARES what 'Baghdad Dan' thinks about the elections? His credibility is long gone!
"CBS NEWS:
We distort,
You deride!"
"Thanks for letting us know what Dan said. How else would we have known?"
LOL
Indeed. Now it's official, now that Dan Rather has briefly joined the planet Earth. Hope you enjoyed your trip, Dan!
Rather trying to kiss some American a$$ before he is fired !!!
>>Nice try Dan. Your name is and always will be Mud.<<
Ironically, he replaced Roger Mudd, didn't he? :^D
LOL!
Kinda like a death bed confession
Just watched the beginning of the CBS nightly newscast. Less than 7 minutes into the broadcast, Blather goes "that's it from Baghdad".
How do we know Rather's broadcast wasn't "staged" from somewhere down in Texas? Anything CBS puts out now has to be viewed with skepticism.
Stinking Americans stay home because it is raining, won't stand in line for over an hour without whining. Stupid idiots. Don't realize just how much freedom means. What it means to get out and elect someone beside a murderer and pig like Saddam. /rant off. No, it ain't off, I am going to continue to rant on this crap. Stupid Americans. Don't understand freedom. They take everything stinking thing for granted. Think the stinking GOVERNMENT gives them freedom, like issuing library cards or something. Bunch of socialist dumb-asses, "I had to stand in line for 10 whole minutes to vote. Wasted my precious time."
Not Americans. Something else, but not Americans. True Americans either vote or keep their mouths shut.
True or not, unfortunately they were born here, thus are citizens. Poor ones, terrible ones, horrible ones, yes also, but alas, they are citizens, they are Americans, but probably of french heritage.
Yes he has an implant but its not stuck up his nose....
I'm sure he had to gargle with Drano after his piece on the election.
And Chrissy Matthews said something like:
President Bush is just like Donald Trump...he just keeps on winning.
And I smiled because I knew Christine hated to admit that Bush was RIGHT and the Liberal talking heads were wrong AGAIN.
Your song is ready now, Danny Boy,
I'm sure you will enjoy it, and it will make you feel all warm inside. Just think, -from now on, the Song ,Danny boy-- it will be talking about YOU!
You can find it on the FR home page-- Just search for "Danny Boy". After all, we all know you know who freepers are, as you mentioned us so elegantly before.
No. He credits the Iraqis and the soldiers. Like it just < poof! > happened, tra la. W had no involvement in this -- according to the report.
