VOTE
* meanwhile, it seems that most of the non-sunnis were voting to kick the ams out near-immediately - however it seems that sistani backed away from doing that in the day or two before the election. and of course the ams are 'hoping' to have 120k troops there for at least 2 years.
* "U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote : Officials Cite 83% Turnout
Despite Vietcong Terror
by Peter Grose, Special to the New York Times (9/4/1967)" awesome.

* of course, the 72% turnout figure being touted ysterday has
already been reduced by 25%. more to come. not that anyone was counting anyway. such a fucking sham.
* the media re the iraqelection is making me sick. if i hear about some woman who was sufficiently stoopid to call her baby 'election' again im gonna puke. how traumatised is the kid gonna be? i wonder how many kids were called 'handover' when bremer ran outta town? or 'spideyhole' when saddam was captured? or any of the other 'new beginnings' we've had in the last 2 years. and what exactly does it tell us anyways? stupid news. and the media is all excited that turnout was 95% in some precincts. stupid blinky got 105% in some precincts.
* and nary a mention in the news that 'voting' was no diffferent to playing pin the tail on the donkey.
* "There were nine suicide bombers in Baghdad--the largest number on a single day anywhere in the Middle East.... only a third of the polling stations opened (in Sunni areas)" http://counterpunch.org/fisk01312005.html
WAR
* "The sole impediments to what amounts to a World War against
Islam and much of the rest of the world are logistical, not
political. Their immediate problem is that they are suffering from
an extreme case of the shorts in the troop department, as there are
still a few adults in the Pentagon who insist on having sufficient
troops around in readiness to fight any war of necessity that might
come up, in between the neocon wars of choice."

* it looks like an ozzie has finally died in iraq. commiserations to his family. if we can get say one killed every day for the next month, then we might finally see some 'support the troops - bring em home' movement here. if not - we'll eventually see an ozzie c130 crash (or some such) where we'll kill 50 ozzies in an instant. and we'll kill hundreds of iraqis in the meantime. bring them home now - or they will kill and be killed. and if we dont bring them home - then i hope they die one by one till we reach the inevitable point where theres sufficient public/media support to actually get them home. its only a matter of time, and death/s.
* btw - the media about the 'crashed' c130 has been a bit spooky. methinx there might be more dead than appears.
* the israeli settlers are revolting. are we gonna have another
disaster there?
* all's swell that ends. swell.
AMDOM
* btw - did anyone see the townhall thingy on the beeb with stupid
johncoward and biden and mccain? mccain was all afluster because
why would the ams sign on to the ICC when it could be used to
arrest warcrims like kissinger and rumsfeld??? (the argument is
wrong for a couple of reasons)
* will we get a new terror color for sotu? who's in charge of that
these days? kerik? chertoff?
* btw - maggiegallagher went to yale. and gets loads of scaife-type
funding. and had a kid when she was 20. and didnt get married.
marriage-expert. whore. hussy. these fucking people would be *soooooooooooooo* much easier to deal with if they werent such fucking hypocrites. seriously. the requisite mind-bending makes uri geller look like an amateur. and they do it every fucking day.

* im sotu scared
OTHER
* meantime john coward is being a bully over trade at davos. can he
just shut the fuck up? meanwhile he has made a major fuckup over
the 'free trade agreement' with the ams - which is anything but.
stoopid fucking hypocrisy.
* nice goal by beckham.
