U.S. 'in for a shock'
In early election results, Shiite cleric's alliance trouncing Washington's favorite

Baghdad -- Partial results from Sunday's election suggest that U.S.-backed Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's coalition is being roundly defeated by a list with the backing of Iraq's senior Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al- Sistani, diminishing Allawi's chances of retaining his post in the next government.

Sharif Ali bin Hussein, head of the Constitutional Monarchy Party, likened the vote outcome to a "Sistani tsunami" that would shake the nation.

"Americans are in for a shock," he said, adding that one day they would realize, "We've got 150,000 troops here protecting a country that's extremely friendly to Iran, and training their troops."

9. PNACs Compulsion to Control via mouthpiece Bush doomed I tell ya

Don git me wrong, I want the best for the Iraqi People....but with these GOPers in charge, ya just know they are fuching things up...

Take a look at their track record... its so revealing.... make a blunder and spin it for an excuse.... Trouble is...too many mega blunders cannot be spun...if its built on shit...it won't stand..

thats mathematics at work...

Come, we go Luau...might as well behave like Heathens and Pagans, enjoy life. We go eat, drink, laugh, sing, smile, and vote for Common Sense cause these GOP MFKRS don have any sense at all.

18. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Opi

:hi:

:loveya:

Got your message -- will return your call after I get some of this work off my desk :D

[opihimoimoi]

25. Does this mean YES???

Pins and Needles Time until I find out......

[KansDem]

2. Have they started "tabulating" the votes yet?

I understand that's when everything becomes "official."

[kcwayne]

3. Can you say Gulf War IV?

Sistani is sending WMD to Iran, Syria, Pakistan, and Korea. Have I left anyone out that the neocons want to invade?

[Al-CIAda]

14. You left out Venezuala! -eom

[King Coal]

4. Time to ink the fingers.

Har dee har har har

[FrenchieCat]

8. And to stick it....

right into Bushco's eye!

[calimary]

28. Which finger, though? I can think of one...

[DrWeird]

5. And now thanks to fingerprints...

The US knows exactly who to round up.

[hippiechick]

6. I don't understand ...

I thought the ballots were numbered only, not candidates names/party affiliations ... was that errant info ?

:shrug:


Thanks !

[ralps]

22. The person who voted had purple ink put on a finger. Any one without

a purple finger didn't vote. So now the troops have some idea who the insurgents/freedom fighters are.
:hi:

[hippiechick]

23. Right, I get that,

But what I don't get, is how they know 'which candidate' is winning, or which candidate they were even voting for - because (at least what I heard) was that the ballots didn't have candidates names or any identifying info on them, just numbers ... like "candidate 1, 2, 3" etc.

So how does the voter know that they were voting for a Sunni, a Shiite, or Mickey Mouse, for that matter ?

:shrug:

[ralps]

24. Sorry, my bad I didn't understand your point.

Bad me:spank:

[mzmolly]

7. Perhaps they'll stay the F out of Iran now?

:(

[opihimoimoi]

10. Nope, too much at stake....like in OIL>>>>>> The GOPers make like IRAN

ia a THREAT to us....

Dats whot dey did to Saddam....and his WMD...he was a threat....

then....it became....we want to give them FREEDOM..which by itself is wonderful... but in this context...its a smokescreen to cover the absense of MWD and to give a good spin on things. They not fooling us nor the Iraqi people...and that includes the Iranian folks as well.

Come, we to to the chapel....Catwoman and I are gonna git hitched....

[mzmolly]

11. Heh heh.

I hear ya.

Congrats on dat dar weddink. ;)

[Endangered Specie]

12. Wonder why they didn't hire Diebold

:shrug: That would have certainly FIXED the problem.

[FreedomAngel82]

13. No electricity

They don't have enough electricity. This one Iraqi blog I read sometimes have stated they have electricity in town for two/three hours to do things but other then that zippo. But I think they'll still find someway to fix it.

[thereismore]

15. hey, wait a minute. These are just early exit polls,

when all the votes are counted I am soooo sure that Allawi will be the winner...

[Old and In the Way]

17. Sounds like they need to get Ken Blackwell over there, pronto.

These neo-cons are so naive. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the people they think will be puppets turn out to be just the opposite. Then what's the US going to do when the newly elected government demands to the world that the US exit Iraq as soon as possible.

[DaDeacon]

19. WOW , this could be bad, N/T

[Yupster]

20. I think it's good

Allawi will never be seen as anything but a US puppet.

I think Sistani has really been a pretty positive influence. He could have blown us out with a full scale Civil War anytime he's wanted to. Instead he's called for calm and put together a pretty diverse slate of candidates.

I think it will be for our good if his slate wins. I think it's our best chance of getting out of there.

[thereismore]

21. I agree. vociferously n/t

[leesa]

27. It may stop the invasion of Iran. If the Shiites form an alliance with

Iran, it will be impossible for the US to get away with another unprovoked invasion, this time in Iran. If they decide to bomb Iran, the troops in Iraq will be slaughtered.

[robbedvoter]

26. They set the elections close enough to the SOTU so the results

wouldn't be in. Now. all the GOP-ers can stick their purple fingers back in Tinky Winky's a*

[lonestarnot]

29. "If its built on shit it can't stand!" Previous post! Guess bushitler

is doomed! hehehehe maybe there is hope for us. What the fuck... are we going to be asked to leave???? He said we would if asked Liar! Freak!

[Clark2008]

30. It's still amazing that little ole me - living in little ole Tennessee

making little ole money - predicted this when the little ole election was first mentioned.
NOBODY seemed to understand when I would state this - well, except for the Arabic guy I work with. He got it and agreed.
If they're in for a shock, then it's because of they're own stupidity. Maybe that'll "learn 'em" not to watch so much Faux News.
