Who lost in the Iraq Elections?

[TruthSayer]

Who do you believe lost from the Iraq elections?

Not the politicains that were not elected but groups, companies, who ever you can think of.

hm...the iraqi's

 

[not really ken]

I personally think that it's to legimize the government in the peoples eyes. It's obvious that it doesn't take 10 days to count votes.

It's being shown if anything as a great success, with no mention of voting irregularities ..etc.

And we know they happened.

Bush invested so much already that he's not going to let Iraq free to do as it wants. You play the game or you get clobbered, we know thats how it works.

"I have worked on many post-conflict out-of-country elections, but this is honestly the first time I have seen this level of emotion and excitement among voters," said Peter Erben, who directed the project for IOM. Most recently he worked on the Afghanistan (news - web sites) election.

Erben said IOM was "delighted" that the three days of polling outside Iraq (news - web sites) went smoothly "and that so many expatriate Iraqis took this historic opportunity to vote."

He noted that Iraqis had turned out to vote in traditional dress and were dancing in the street.

"Many, many people (were) proudly holding up their inked finger as a sign of their freedom to choose their future leaders," Erben said.

The agency marked the voter's index finger with ink meant to avert any repeat voting.

Al Qaeda vowed to pursue "holy war" in Iraq (news - web sites) Monday after failing to wreck elections, and Prime Minister Iyad Allawi urged rival ethnic and religious groups to unite after the first multi-party vote in 50 years.

Al Qaeda Islamist militants denounced the historic elections Sunday as an "American game" but leaders around the world hailed the vote as an unexpected success, regardless of whether they had supported or opposed the U.S.-led war in 2003.

War opponents France, Germany and Russia all hailed Iraqis' bravery in voting and, in a sign of warming transatlantic ties, pledged to back U.S. efforts to restore stability.

Didn't the USA help, it's not like they are doing it for the first time It's not like re-inventing the wheel, someone already invented it so you can just put it on and go.

Yea its not really that easy while people are shooting mortars at you and threatening your life if you even participate in the voting process.
