Warning an IED was Placed here to Kill Travelers and Voters
3000 signs with this message are being placed in voting pathways for Iraq voters and others to read as they approach the voting locations during the election. The sign informs people to please call a number if you see IED's or terrorist activity in each of the cities.

New Hope, MN (PRWEB) January 26, 2005 -- Insurgents have placed explosive devices to kill or scare people from voting and reduce the number of voters that participate in efforts to reestablish peace in their country. Each city has a special sign with special numbers to call the Iraq National Army for any terrorist activity or notice of IED's. During Iraq’s first democratic election on Jan 30,2005 these signs are used to inform people in Iraq that IED’s / Improvised Explosive Devices have been placed through out Iraq, to kill them while attempting to vote for a new leader of their country.

Attached is an image of the sign that was printed in the USA and sent to Iraq. Insurgents and terrorists are trying to scare and intimidate US Troops and Iraqi Voters by placing explosives/ IED's along the hi-way, walk ways and public locations during the Election. The sign has four skull bones in each corner and is written in Arabic, Kurdish and English. The warning sign is 24 inches by 24 inches printed both sides so incoming voters can read it from both directions

1. "You may die if you go out to vote--so vote Allawi!!"
This is the most ridiculous "election" I've ever seen.

Voter turnout is going to be extremely low because of 1)the dangers and 2)no one knows who's running (because of the danger).

We will be told otherwise, and Allawi will win because Bush says so.

And once again, the US is seen as a bunch of fuckups.

Thanks again George.

All one has to do is look at AFG to see how * (s)elections work.

Scurvy!

7. They are not even voting for a President (or one man). that's the rub!
I wonder if many Americans really know what this election is about?

3. you left out the best part- no oursourcing here, the signs are "Made in
the USA" tm!!!!!!

(snip)
If the more than 100,000 signage companies worldwide that could have been contacted - CLRB was selected because of there unique ability to produce signs in these languages and deliver quickly. Some of the signs have a unique "Glow in the Dark" technology.
CLRB Hanson is a small specialty printing company with 20 employee's that specializes in Made In The USA production
"Certainly this adds a new meaning to the words - Made In America'" said Tom Daher. One must wonder what impact those signs will have on voter turn out.


It good to hear we still make something here other than BFEE lies & deceit!

4. Could you even imagine walking down a road to vote and see this sign?
Would you keep walking? What was the military thinking?

They are nonwhite people, he thought he was supposed to suppress their votes not encourage them. :eyes:
