Of course! Freezing Rain > Milestone Election in Iraq
As pointed out by LGF: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/webl...cture#comments
They estimate that over 70% of Iraqis participated in the election! That's a HUGE turnout. This includes a significant amount of Sunnis when most all of them boycotted the last one.
I love this one

No, no, you read the meme wrong! The reason why we're having freezing rain in the South and in the Northeast is...global warming!

...you guys b**** more than a room full of 15 year old cheerleaders on the rag...
Last night I saw the coverage of the Iraqi vote on EVERY news channel EVERY time they gave the news. I don't know why CNN's top story is rain; but every other news outlet covered the election.
It's very cool that there was a %70 turnout...now how do we get Americans to vote in the same numbers as Iraqis...

Voter turnout in Iraq before the invasion was close to 100% of eligable voters.
That's a 30% decline in turnout. You don't that spread all over the news do you?
Consider yourself lucky.
Also, expect the turnout numbers to be revised down in the next couple of days.

...and CNN does have the election as the top story on their World News page...

CNN is, after all, and American news outlet...

You can't have free elections when the electorate only recognizes one candidate that routinely murders and tortures opponents of his regime! The minimal penalty for slandering Saddam was to have one's tongue cut out.

I wouldn't get all angry over it, Salty, but lojasmo's post is pretty misleading. All dictatorships report a 100% voter turnout...that's the way they do things....

Truth is, however, that women had a better quality of life under Sadam's government than they will under the theocracy that is developing there.
