MSNBC whoring "the vote" in Iraq...

[Postman]

turnout "better than expected" in Kurdish and Shiite areas. Sunni area (aka Baghdad, Ramadi, Fallujah et al) low turnout. Some polling places never opened. At least 9 attacks in Baghdad today.

Selling the vote as a success - "voters turned out in defiance of the terrorist attacks to cast their votes"....

not exactly the whole truth, Kurds and Shiites have not born the brunt of the insurgency, it has been a Sunni insurgency mostly and in the areas where they have been launching attacks there has been hardly any voting.

It seems the administration must play up their successes wherever they can find them and try to amplify that and pass it off as an Iraqi (i.e. all of Iraq) success.
