Initial Results From Iraq's Referendum
Initial results from Iraq's constitutional referendum, as reported by election officials in each province. The figures are from the first tallies done by each province's counting centers, which must be sent to Baghdad for another check and compilation. The final official figures, likely to be announced no sooner than Tuesday, may differ.

The names of each province is followed by its capital in parentheses.

1. How nice an Iraq referendum, just in time to take,
KKKarl Rove, Bill Fritz, and Scooter Libby off the media radar.

2. Interesting.
Huge Yes votes all over the place...except for Falluja. I wonder what they know that we don't.

6. I'm surprised by your response.
Here is what the people of Fallujah know:

Tal Afar and specific other cities know the same thing to the same degree.

4. I'm thinking Najaf probably voted no.
If one of those other three vote no, the Constitution is dead in the water.

5. They have to vote NO by 75%.
The referendum was a farce.

7. Brought to you by the same people that counted ballots in Ohio
Many cities did not hold elections because they were being bombed by the US. There is no way that country under foreign military occupation can hold any semblance of free democratic elections. This is all a sham!

Having said that, we can turn this sham to our advantage by demanding that the troops be withdrawn now that Iraq has an Islamic constitution that puts women under Sharia law.
