Iraq Officials Seek Delay for Elections

[ckramer]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Leading Iraqi politicians called Friday for a six-month delay in the Jan. 30 election because of the spiraling violence as U.S. forces uncovered more bodies in the northern city of Mosul, apparent victims of an intimidation campaign by insurgents against Iraq's fledgling security forces.

1. Why delay? They will get whoever Jesus Bush appoints anyway

might as well do like we do here in the US. Bend over and take it, regardless of the real vote count. Get with the program Iraqis, you want fake freedom or not? We gotta bomb you again? huh?

2. LOL, but a bunch of bodies at election time doesn't look so good.

Ya know? Looks good now, but that is a different setting.

That's why Bush used the machines rather than the machine-guns on us.

3. If Iraqis protest against election fraud, will CNN be there?

Like they seem to be with the Ukraine situation? I know, extremely doubtful. Instead, they will be trumpeting Allawi's amazing victory hourly, for at least a week.

4. You got it, no story there

The world knows our "Democracy" is total bull cr*p fiction. They were just as shocked over the 2000 and 2004 coups as the Democrats were. The rest of the world sees the new American fascists for what they are, they just can't do any more to stop them than we can.
