Iraq Votes

HOW DO DESCRIBE THE FEELING: How do you begin to contain the emotion of contributing to freedom for the very first time in over 50 years. And for many – the first time ever in their life? How do you contain the emotion of seeing a day arrive that you have dreamed of for many tortured, horrible, murderous nights…These pictures of Iraqi’s voting give us a bit of an idea.

There will be more…many, many, many more…but why on earth it would ever strike someone like Michael Moore, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy etc., that these souls should never have been given the chance to do what you see here is – in a word – EVIL!

  1. the thought of possible exclusion from the Right Voices Social Club, not being able to discuss college basketball and who is or is not acting trampy, does not fill me with dread.

    certain members of the Club have attacked my character on a number of occasions, so the level of my social acceptance is not high on my list of cares.

    until your next insight…..

  2. 50 – well, it’s obvious you read our posts since you seem to be pretty up on what’s going on.

  3. Walter E Wallis,
    you & Snowy Egret as members of the ‘hit & run’ club of people, aren’t interested in conversation or debate or reaching any kind of understanding of anything except the most superficial knowledge of another’s thinking.

    ‘stick it’ does not engender intelligent discourse.
    attack is a common, but sad, reminder of how little respect we give to others opinions.

    stick that.

  4. 52 – shiloh, snowy egret reads the posts and comments on them. he doesn’t need to engage in any discourse with the rest of us. read post, leave a comment.

    this site is not called “argue with shiloh”

  5. 51 – i search for relevancy & things of interest to me. i am not disputing your right to your conversation, & would prefer not be be judged for not participating in certain topics.

  6. Snowy Egret is many things. among the things he does is attack other’s positions without defending his own.
    hard to respect that.

  7. 54 – agreed.

    55 – he talks about the posts, not about anyone on the site. shit, i don’t think he even knows we exist.

  8. 53 – would you share what the site is not called with peejz?

    don’t bother.

  9. 56 – your comment about Egret not knowing we exist is both very funny & usually correct.

  10. Hey, Shinola, I don’t run [except at Kunu Ri]
    You make life a Simon Sez game. Life ain’t. Real values trump protocols any day with grownups.

  11. A few of my right wing friends have echoed Kevin’s sentiment… you know, saying liberals must hate that Iraq has taken the first step toward what we hope will be a democracy. That’s ridiculous. Let’s share this great moment in Iraqi history. . . one that every American can appreciate.

  12. 60: True. But it seems some appreciate it just a little more or less grudgingly than others.

  13. In that 8th picture down, I love that guy’s shoes.

  14. During a news conference, President Ghazi al-Yawer was asked whether the presence of foreign troops might be fueling the Sunni Arab revolt by encouraging rebel attacks.

    “It’s only complete nonsense to ask the troops to leave in this chaos and this vacuum of power,” al-Yawer, a Sunni Arab, said.

    He said foreign troops should leave only after Iraq’s security forces are built up, the country’s security situation has improved and some pockets of terrorists are eliminated.

    “By the end of this year, we could see the number of foreign troops decreasing,” al-Yawer said.

    Al-Yawer had been a strong critic of some aspects of the U.S. military’s performance in Iraq, including the three-week Marine siege of the Sunni rebel city of Fallujah in April.

    Al-Yawer helped negotiate an end to that siege. But the city fell into the hands of insurgents and religious zealots, forcing the Marines to recapture Fallujah last November in some of the heaviest urban combat for American forces since the Vietnam war.

    “There were some mistakes” in the occupation “but to be fair … I think all in all it was positive, the contribution of the foreign forces in Iraq,” al-Yawer said. “It was worth it.”

    Later Tuesday, Defense Minister Hazem Shaalan said Iraq would only ask U.S. and other forces to leave when the country’s own troops were capable of taking on insurgents.

    “We don’t want to have foreign troops in our country, but at the same time we believe that these forces should stay for some time until we are able to control the borders and establish a new modern army and we have efficient intelligence,” Shaalan told reporters. “At that time … we’ll ask them to leave.”

  15. 62- I had not even noticed that!
