1,000,000 votes for US candidates ???

Is this how BushHoover and crew plan to control the outcome of the Iraq "election", with the million ex-patriots living in the US and the rest of the World they are allowing to vote absentee??

And come to think of it, if Iraq is such a potential freedom fest about to happen, why haven't those million Iraq citizens so happy to be voting gone back?

1. We're certainly of like minds!

I heard yesterday for the first time that 1,000,000 Iraqis (I assumed that's how many there were in the U.S.,) were being allowed to vote. The rules are that either you are an Iraqi citizen or your father has to be from Iraq. I immediately thought that that's how they plan to rig the election.

2. I believe I heard on Air America the other day

that residents of Fallujah are now being told that anyone who didn't list their old (pre-fallujah operation, pre-destroyed) residence as primary residence on their registration forms are having them invalidated. The refugees were listing their new residences in the refugee camps on the forms. Apparently this is being perpetrated by a Shi'a registrar on Sunnis.

So, you get to vote if you don't live in Iraq, but you don't get to vote if you do live in Iraq. Welcome to Western Democracy, Free People of Mesopotamia!
