5. Iraq: Election fraud rekindles risk of civil war, Sunni’s pissed off!
Bush election policies inspire civil war. That should be the headline. They must have had Secretary of State Blackwell consult on this one. What a mess. What a waste

Claims of vote fraud rekindle risk of civil war in Iraq

Cairo - While Iraq's Shiites are dancing in the streets of Baghdad celebrating their parties' good results in the parliamentary elections, the responses of Sunni representatives have produced outbursts of a different sort.

'Election fraud', the delegates of the two leading Sunni lists shouted as soon as the head of the election Adel al-Lami announced new partial results from the provinces.

Sunni Saleh al-Mutlak, who had presented himself as a moderate and open politician during the debate on the new constitution in October, was immediately talking of 'our brothers the jihadists who are on the path of rightfulness.'

Wow, are these people gratefule for their "liberation." What a sad, sad story.
