72% turnout in Iraq's election
With about two hours to go before the polls close in Iraq, FoxNews is reporting that there has been a 72% turnout. My Political Science professor once made a statement to our class: "The ballot box is just a substitute for blood in the street." Via today's vote, the Iraqis have registered that they are not acquiescing to being ruled by “blood in the street”; and they’re defying the al Qaeda death squads to do so.
The winners, in general, include the Iraqis and America. The Iraqis, of course, won because they are refusing to be ruled by tyrants. For America this election is another successful step in our project to tame the parts of the middle east that are infested with criminal regimes.
America military forces deserve special mention: over 1,100 American warriors have died advancing America’s interests. Criminal regimes spanned an uninterrupted area from Syria to Pakistan when Bush took office in 2001. One of the regimes, Afghanistan’s Taliban, protected bin Laden, provided a sanctuary for al Qaeda and enabled al Qaeda’s September 11th terror attack on the U.S.
Today elected governments and not criminal regimes run Iraq and Afghanistan because our warriors removed the despots and created the stability needed to organize civil governments.
And we got a freebie: our exhibition of military force flipped Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi without firing a shot—or even our showing any interest in servicing him in the near future. Muammar Gaddafi ditched his WMD program for one reason and one reason alone: he saw what our military did to Saddam and Gaddafi was frantic to avoid Saddam’s fate. No prison cells for Gaddafi!
President Bush also deserves special mention. The successful outcome for this election is yet another in a series of victories for George W Bush. This victory also means a defeat for Bush’s opponents. A partial list of these losers includes:
Yup, Bush overcame some major opposition.
Oh, and an order for Treasonous Drunkard Ted Kennedy: Drink up.

bin Laden: he anointed Zarqawi to be prince “the prince of al Qaeda in Iraq”, Iraq presumabily being a district in the Caliphate bin Laden aspires to.
Zarqawi and his al Qaeda death squads: Zarqawi’s wave of homicide bombings, explicit death threats and terrorism was just one big wet firecracker.
The Baathist death squads: Baathists who were trying to reestablish an Sunni-based tyranny received a setback.
Syria and Iran: they provided support and money for the death squads that were trying to stop the election. Oh, and you’re next! Start sweating it.
The Weasels : France, Germany and France’s toy poodle, Belgium, did everything in their (non-existent) power to stop the U.S.
The UN : The UN Oil for Security Council Vetoes Scandal descredited the UN.
Saddam: Saddam bet the farm that French UNSC vetoes would save him from one division of U.S. Marines.
The Main Stream Media: The MSM was pulling for U.S. defeat.
The Democrats: The Democratic Party’s elites were pulling for U.S. defeat.
Ted Kennedy.: Treasonous drunkard, Ted Kennedy, has been trying to cause the U.S. to loss in Iraq in the same way he caused us to lose in Vietnam: by making us abandon the battlefield and leave our enemies in control of it.
Yup, Bush overcame some major opposition.
Oh, and an order for Treasonous Drunkard Ted Kennedy: Drink up.
