I don't really understand how the Iraqi election changes anything.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

So the insurgents will just say "oohh they had an election. I quit?"
Can someone please enlighten me as to how this is going to bring democracy to Iraq. and if they get democracy can we have some, too?

1. It won't and it isn't....

Just more lipstick on that big old Iraqi pig. Sorry, Democracy left this country when we gave our votes to RW Corporate Voting Machine companies.

2. it just gives gwb an opportunity to blather about how he is shpreading

freedom in the world.

3. You didn't DRINK THE KOOLAID! Here, have a glass, it will cool your

thoughts and everything will be lovely and nice and spotless in JUST a moment... what flavor would you like?

Ah, there now, see? The iraqis are FREE. Repeat this over and over... the iraqis are FREE, george bush is the hero, the iraqis are free, george bush is the new god... the iraqis are FREE...

7. And after your drink it

Don't forget to dip your finger in it.

Baptise yourself in it! Climb in! It's nice and warm!

4. I am sure the bu$h will explain the delusions tonight in his

sad state of delusion prophecy speech

5. It's all about freedom, liberty, and democracy of a free people.

6. It's about getting the flag wavers excited. Works every time on these

idiots. His polling was bad, thus an election, which Bush opposed in the beginning.
Believe me, the LAST thing Bush wants anywhere is a democracy. Democracy is 'bad fer bidness'.

8. It's just like when * declared "Mission Accomplished"

And at that point, we won the war on terrorism(tm), right? Or when * said he would balance the budget and then ordered new presidential helicopters for $6 BILLION. Or when Herr Rumsfeld said the torturers were "a few bad apples". Or, etc., etc., etc..

[K-W]

9. Exactly, NOTHING changed

The resistance is the same.
The US is still fully in control.
It is still working tentatively to negotiate a government with Iraqi leaders that will without a doubt retain US control over Iraqi affairs.
