Reply #13: What makes them a sham is obvious....

[wadestock]

Everyone knows those provinces that are American protected favor the Shia to vote...and otherwise they are the majority anyway.

It's a complete joke to think anything but a Shia/American inspired victory would be secured.

Are you really serious that you don't know why this is a sham?

The only way that this could have been intelligently orchestrated (if you believe in forced takeovers in the first place) was to advertise loud and clear to the Sunni that they would be voting for a legitimate piece of governance.

You are witnessing one of the most incompetent and dangerous actions of all time....all in the name of liberty and peace....and yes....performed by your beloved country.
