Who won in Iraq?
I was going for # 78 and would love to know how he/she did!

Seriously, it will be interesting to see if they can bring the Sunni's in. And it will be interesting to see if they have the ability to truely write their own constitution. My bet is that with alot of prompting multinationals will hold the key to the oil and reconstruction biz.

Troops aside ( and I pray they are asked to leave soon), wouldn't it be great if they threw Haliburton and Exxon Mobil out?

3. Those Exit Polls From Najaf...
...had me really fooled, I would have thought 216 had polled higher than 628, but then rumor has it Mustafa Diebold is the local election judge.

I wonder what will happen now that the names of these candidates...or some of them are now in the open. Supposedly they were being safeguarded until the election to protect these people's lives. Now, since they've served the regime's purposes, they will now be cast aside to meet their fate.

Actually, I'd be all in favor of a Haliburton army. Let's replace our taxpayer supported troops with their contractors...I'll even go with a no-bid contract...they can have the whole war. Just don't expect me to pay for it. If those "patriots" think this is such a "noble venture", why don't they take some of that tax break money and pay for the gas for their SUVs and other selfish interests.

5. "Some say..."
Did you see Outfoxed? "Some say..." basically serves as the cover statement for "The Republicnas want you to think..."

10. Someone Needs To Publish A Wingnut Dictionary
There's so many codewords and buzzwords these oxygen thieves use, it's hard to keep up these days.

The one gimmick many of these goons use is to attempt to play "Democrat" or interpret what we are thinking...Novakula is a master at this.

The double-speak and outright lying today marks a very, very dark day for what is left of American journalism.

6. Are you saying you supported 216?
Only wondering because 216's platform was written in code, and I had no idea what 216 stood for.

9. I guess I'm disturbed 2
But since Bremer is gone hopefully they will raise some hell.

Then again it's way to early to even hope the Iraqi's will have a semblance of self determination. We're still at the edge of the abyss.
