Two Front-Runners Claim Victory as Iraqis Await Election ResultsPosted on Mar 9, 2010
The final tally from Sunday’s parliamentary elections in Iraq hasn’t been announced yet, but that didn’t stop Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his opponent, Ayad Allawi, from claiming victory for their respective teams. However, their winning attitudes may have less to do with clairvoyance than with holding on to their support bases, according to the Times Online. —KA

ofersince72,
I believe I will never understand the overwhelming visceral hatred the Liberal-minded in the West hold toward the only truly free nation in the Middle East.
I would enjoy learning more about your hate of the Jewish nation if you can keep it brief.

The reason for the removal of Saddam Hussein was his control of the worlds second largest oil reserves, his two (2) invasions of neighboring nations, his constant threats to Saudi Arabia and Israel and his exhaustively documented ties to international terrorism.
Nobody attempts to kill and American President and lives long to ruminate about it!

The actual invasion of Iraq is because Sadaam threatened to increase oil production which may reduce the price and to use the Euro as the medium exhange for Iraq’s oil rather than the $. This is contrary to the Mission Statements of the NSA, NSC which declares their purpose is to secure and control the worlds resources, by all means possible, and the purpose of the Pentagon is to enforce the NSA, NSC Missions. This is declared in the Pentagon Quadrennial Review report. These policies are to prop up the dollar and to prevent bankruptcy of the USG which is achieved by it being the medium exchange for energy sources which creates the demand for $ enabling the $ to retain some value. Iraq invasion is to prop up the $. However, to prevent the collapse of the $ by the use of the Pentagon is bankrupting the USG because of its obscene budget and attendent corruption. Case in point, the Great Electronic Wall of Space and it 1000’s of outposts world wide and other absurd Pentagon expenditures largely financed with deficit spending. The precedent of bankruptcy being the Great Wall of China which led to the collapse of the Chinese government and the society and the invasion by the Mongols, which the Wall was built to prevent. The USA won’t be invaded when it formerly declares bankruptcy, but the USG will collapse. The sources for this are the Mission Statements.

Five years from now, Iraq will still be an
occuppied nation with US permanent bases and
at least 50,000 troops and a private armed contractor
such as a Blackwater type to keep the proud and
brave citizenry in line.
It was observed from all over the globe the
5 million displaced citizens, the US hand in starting
a civil bloodbath,,,and on and on and on.
Are you really trying to tell me that the invasion

I have no doubt that they are a proud people, or
that it took extreme bravery to go to the polls.
But what is so historic about it??

I beg you not to do this. Don’t belittle the global and historic significance of this event. At least know more about what you’re claiming before you make the claim.
Iraqi’s are a proud people who will not be told what to do, who to vote for, how to govern or take to the roll of subservience to the United States or anyone else.
I beg you not to belittle or ignore the fact that more Iraqi Mothers and Fathers turned out to vote, Under the Direct Threat of Death, than normally turn out in the United States and most other representative forms of government.
Four time now Iraqi’s have, in huge numbers, defied snipers, mortar attacks and kidnappings for an opportunity to vote for more than a single individual.
This is an historic event which is being observed around the entire globe. I beg you not fail to recognize the significance. I beg you set aside your own political leanings and give the Iraqi people the respect they rightly deserve.

“Of all the pictures I saw from the Iraqi elections last weekend, my favorite was on nytimes.com: an Iraqi mother holding up her son to let him stuff her ballot into the box. I loved that picture. Being able to freely cast a ballot for the candidate of your choice is still unusual for Iraqis and for that entire region. That mother seemed to be saying: When I was a child, I never got to vote. I want to live in a world where my child will always be able to.”
This was a very good day for Iraq.
