Do you...

the Iraq elections have already been done via secretly days or weeks before Jan. 30th? just to offset the "insurgency" and violence? Wouldn't put it past Chimpie and co. to do such a sneaky thing. What do you all think?

1. How do you have a "secret" public democratic election?

:crazy:

2. Good guess...

But, from what I understand, it's being automatically generated
on Diebold computers in Jordan.

3. Not likely....

...unless they somehow snuck the election past the Iraqi people as well.

4. Well....

look at when Paul Bremer up and split...oops, handed over "sovereignty" to the Iraqis--they did that days before the actual date. I smell something afoul with these "elections". But overall, it will be looked at as illegitimate anyways.

5. I can see why you might suspect that but

Al-jazeera would have leaked it out, something that big couldn't stay a secret.
