Bush may lose by Iraq Vote!

from JoeUser Forums

Voter turnout in Iraq, which created euphoria in the Bush administration, could turn out to be a nightmare for this country. Although it is too early to have the final results from the election, it appears that the Shiite clerics hold a commanding lead.

The net result of the Iraqi election could be the creation of a government similar to the type of government in Iran. We have been unable to deal with the Iranian government for decades and if what results in Iraq is similar to the government in Iran, George W. Bush may have succeeded in turning an evil dictatorship into another Islamic regime that poses an additional threat to the United States and the West. If that is the result of this election, it is certainly no way to enhance the security of the United States or other nations plagued by the violent Islamic insurrection that is taking place.

And that is what you would get for thinking that. It has been said time and again that WMDs were only a PARTIAL reason for going in.

---thank you, finally some one said that.

When did we become the tool to enforce U.N. resolutions?

---Our job, as the US in the UN, is being a police force to help enforce UN sanctions. [I remember reading that somewhere, i'll look for it as soon as i can.]

I wouldn't worry too much about Iraq becoming too much like another Iran. The U.S. has a long history of political intervention in South America and I'm guessing they'll implement the Salvador Option (where we killed anywhere from 40,000 to 70,000 people during the 1980s using U.S. trained death squads) to keep the balance tipped in our best interests.

It's sick and sad to say, but I think this administration would go to those lengths to maintain a friendly government in Iraq.

Think whatever you want. There is no evil "secret" agenda or unscrupulous "hidden" plan that hasn't been ascribed to the Bush administration, whether supported by facts or not (mainly not). You guys are starting sound like Art Bell.
