You heard it here first - THE ELECTION WAS A SUCCESS !

[kentuck]

No need to wait for Sunday's results. We can let you know the news ahead of time because it doesn't matter what happens on Sunday, it will be portrayed as a "success" by this Administration, and it will be portrayed likewise by the poodle media.

It doesn't matter if the election sites are disrupted by bombs and people are killed. They will have been brave to march to the polls in the face of such danger to cast their vote for "freedom". It will not matter that most of the voters will come from the southern and northern regions of Iraq - the areas that have been most peaceful since before and after the war. The actual war is in "central" Iraq - around Baghdad and surrounding cities. We should not expect the "turnout" to be exceedingly high in those areas. They do not have to vote at all for the election to be a "success".

The White House can give FOX and CNN a couple of personal stories of people that endured hardship to get to the polls and will extol the virtues of "democracy". Every little bit helps in the propaganda war. And it will not matter that the election will change nothing. In fact, there may be more violence afterwards.
