1. making sure Allawi is elected
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 05:27 PM by cal04
A coalition of Kurdish parties is second and a bloc led by interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi is third.


Are there any doubts that, the US-created stooge, Iyad Allawi, will not continue his current position of Occupation spokesman? According to the Washington Post, Allawi’s gang threatened Iraqis if they do not vote (for Allawi), they will not get their monthly food rations, the miracle of Saddam, which is keeping the Iraqi people out of starvation.

Under these elections, Iraqis had two choices, lose your card (Saddam's old food-distribution cards) and starve, or go out and vote for the fraudulent elections. About 3 million Iraqis were forced to venture out of their homes to vote in the mid of violence. It is this violence that will keep Allawi and his masters in their positions. These are truly “historic elections” for the US dream of “spreading democracy”.

2. Allawi's list was behind, last time I heard
Al-Sistani's list of Shi'ite candidates was in the lead.

3. BushCo dumped
a whole bunch of money into ads for Allawi. Guess not enough Iraqis had electricity to catch the propoganda on their TVs.

"Free elections", the candidate of Bush's choice given money for ads and he still comes in third. Who said irony is dead?
