Here's the Shrub take on the Iraqi constitution vote.....JUST IN.

[spanone]

Big Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulates the Iraqis for voting.
Voter turn out was greater than last election.
Sunnis participated in greater numbers.
Level of violence was down...he attributes it to Iraqi & coallition forces.
Positive day for Iraqi & World Peace.
Vote stands in contrast to Al Qaeda & their violent ways
We're making progress towards peace.

blah blah blah blah blah

Wow, what did I expect.

He took no questions.

1. His "addresses" get sadder and sadder

and even more pathetic than the last

[susu369]

2. You forgot the big one

"Democratic countries are peaceful."

Smirk.

:-)

3. Yea, but then I thought of that 64 yr old guy getting his ass kicked in NO

for no apparent reason.

[Lubernaut]

4. He starts a war

then pats himself on the back for "making progress towards peace".

I don't like him.

[RebelOne]

5. Why did I just see on CNN that the voter turnout

was lower than the Jan. election?

[Marr]

6. Do they really expect people to consider this proof of "progress"?

They already PLAYED this hand. You know, last year- all the purple fingers and sanctimonious bullshit? The violence continued and Americans who actually believed the administrations bullshit about the situation improving were more let down than ever.

7. Civil War in Iraq - according to former Prime Minister Allawi

has started, according to a post I found here today
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/10/16/wirq216.xml

That makes **'s words doubly ridiculous.

Also: did he, or did he not, have an abrasion on his left cheek?

[fooj]

8. Seymour Hersh said the first election held in Iraq was a sham...

Why should we believe that this one was any different? It's not like we don't know how this administration LOVES to DISTORT the election process. I don't get why we should be happy that the Iraqi's are moving towards a "democracy" when this country is moving farther and farther away from one! Actually, I find it rather insulting.

Peace.
