"We totally reject the results of these rigged elections"...
This was a statement issued by the several Sunni parties in reference to the last election. They are calling for the election results to be thrown out and a new vote to be cast. Appearantly, there was wide spread fraud but of course there was not enough to change the outcome of the election.

"We totally reject the results of these rigged elections and call for the cancellation of the early results," a joint statement issued by the parties said.

"We hold the IECI responsible for all the violations which took place during the elections and demand that it be dissolved and a suitable alternative to be found," it added.

"If this is not achieved, then we will have no choice but to refuse the results and boycott the new parliament."

Ibrahim al-Janabi, a spokesman for the Iraqi National List, said his party had lost confidence in the political process.

See the problem is, Mr. al-Janabi, that you are experiencing true American Democracy, not that idyllic crap you dreamed of or that we sold you. No, you have American Democracy where even though election issues arise, they can never be questioned or over turned. It time now to simply bend over, take it right up the rear pipe and bow down to the will of the evil and crooked. You have finally after hundreds of years of struggle and hope, achieved American Democracy. Congradulations.
