Iran's victory revealed in Iraq election

FOR the Bush White House, the good news from Iraq just never stops. But the joy that President Bush has expressed over the country's latest election, though more restrained than his infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech, will similarly come back to haunt him.

Soon after Bush spoke of the Iraqi election as "a landmark day in the history of liberty," early returns representing 90 percent of the ballots cast in the Iraq election established that the clear winners were Shiite and Sunni religious parties not the least bit interested in Western-style democracy or individual freedom -- including such extremists as Muqtada al-Sadr, whose fanatical followers have fought pitched battles with U.S. troops.

The silver lining, of course, is that the election did see broad participation, if not particularly clean execution. And because all of the leading parties say they want the United States to leave on a clear and public time line, this should provide adequate cover for a staged but complete withdrawal from a sovereign country that we had no right to invade in the first place.

WTF are they gonna do when our new democratic Iraqi government signs a treaty with Iran and tells us to get the fuck out now? Maybe Scheer is right - well, they want us to leave so we've achieved our goals and we won, now we can leave. Pretend we don't know what is really going on.

The beginnings of a new Persian Empire. Is that in America's best interests? The answer is obvious. Why is it that Republicans seem to be the abettors of treason whenever Iran's ayatollahs are involved?

and became a serious thorn in our gas tank?

Easier to deal with than those darn boring rationalists, always so pedantic about objectivity and everything ::yawn:: at least religious whackjobs are zealous about something, they're FIRM, they have RESOLVE, they're CONFIDENT, which means they must have CHARACTER and be capable of LEADERSHIP, which hey, means they're kind of like guys like us, uh huh huh, uh huh huh.

Mmmmm yeah, hehe, mmm Bush is like, an ayatollah. Mmmmm yeah, hehehe.

Uh huh huh, you said 'bush', uh huh huh, uh huh huh.

Mmmmm yeah, hehe hehe, mmmm Ayatollah Bush mmmmm, Bush Ayatollah mmmmm hehehehehe.

Uh huh huh, uh huh huh.

The End.
