So! Who's gonna win the Iraqi election, anyway?

[tuvor]

Thoughts?

[GreyRoofoo]

1. Of course it will be..

whomever Bush wants

[bahrbearian]

2. Texaco

[Elidor]

3. Me! I've got the votes "locked up," hehe

Vote for Hardhead.

[Disturbed]

4. 110 Parties?

Hmmm...the one backed by al Sistani.

[pinto]

5. (I've got a secret) or (expletive deleted) are top contenders...n/t

[Jack Rabbit]

6. Allawi and his merry band of quisling puppets

The Bushies have already counted the votes.

[spooked]

7. Due to Security Risk, the Names of the Candidates are being Withheld

Check back on Sunday morning

[Ian David]

8. Ficus! eom

[stevedeshazer]

9. Iraqi Voter's Guide here:

I'd recommend the blank space above the second or third blank space.

[donheld]

10. Does anyone really think the Iraqis

more than one to chose from?

[MisterP]

11. "You can't criticize Lawee!" wailed the Boy King

[BrotherBuzz]

12. Ask the boys at Acme Printing....

I suspect they know.

[Goathead]

13. Whoever "wins"...

Whoever the U.S. props up in Iraq, it'll be the Iraqi people that loses.

[bvar22]

14. If I were an Iraqi,

I would write in Saddam as a protest to the American Occupation.

Seriously.

There cannot be a Free and Fair Election in Iraq as long as American Gunmen roam the streets.

[jrthin]

15. You know, the

race there is very tight with Allawi/Buscho against...hmm, uh, oops, nobody knows the name of the other candidates. Oh, well, Allawi/Bushco will be the winner.

[Sir Jeffrey]

16. Zarqawi...he wins regardless of the outcome n/t

[hector459]

17. I didn't think Allawi is running for anything. He will be there no matter

what, won't he?

18. What Election? Who's Running For The Iraqi National Assembly?

The names of most candidates are not even listed on the ballots! And little or no information is being circulated on what any of the candidates stand for, even for those few who have their names on the so-called ballots!

Could anyone seriously say we had an election in the United States if "candidates" running for Congress did not have their names on the ballots and if not a single piece of literature was circulated indicating what the candidates (named and un-named) stand for?

I think this point needs to be raised here and on other boards over and over and over again.

19. Election Recounts In Iraq?

In a "close" Iraqi election how do you do a recount for candidates who are not identified by name on the ballots?

The odds are pretty good that a lot ballot stuffing will take place in southern Iraq and the Kurdish north. That will also help to inflated the figures on the number of people who actually vote for "anonymous".

My prediction:

Anonymous will win the election!

22. Hi Itsthetruth!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Haymare22]

20. Heard a embed reporter say......

....Everyone has left the big cities; the local police, any form of governing council folk, have all packed out. Many locals have split, the cities are full of only 'insurgents' and our soldiers.

Those leaving say they are too fearful of what will happen and see no point in remaining behind to 'vote'.

"Mission Accomplished". You bet.

[kohodog]

21. #78, no doubt about it

what a farce. what have we done to these people?
