WTF is going on with Iraq "vote count" .... US is "Ukraining" the results?

[cthrumatrix]

They had some extra boxes to count on Feb 9th...big deal. It's 3 full days later and no clue as when they will annouce the "staged results"

Remember..Rummy said "democracy can be messy".

1. Rove has to send the exact results to the counters in Iraq,

As Stalin said, everyone can have a vote, as long as I am the one that counts the votes.

[cthrumatrix]

2. the early results will be 180 from what comes out --- watch the spin

[CrispyQ]

3. Is the US counting the votes?

Arghhh!!!! How much more of this madness are the sheeple going to tolerate? Will they ever wake up?

[Botany]

4. Because the early data had it .....

.....
1. Shi ite theocracy
2. Kurds who want an independent country
3. Our puppet Allawi

Also they have to pad the vote totals too. 57% turn they said ...... with
4 million total votes?????



:kick:

5. We are making and marking Iraq ballots as fast as we can at Langley

6. I saw Dan Senor

on Faux yesterday, I know slapped my own wrist!

And he was talking how Allawi was "jockeying" with the parties to remain PM.

That there is a lot of that going on, that some guy named Jafar is way ahead right now, but Allawi is making some deals.

So you know it takes a little bit to put the smokescreen out there and then make you see what you are sure you didn't.

they are :evilgrin:

7. Good Lord

If the Iraqis do not get they party they gave the most votes to
as the majority party, look out. Right now we have the most trouble
with the Sunnis but if the majority Shi ite population does not feel
that it's will is being respected, Civil War. Mission Accomplished.

* is a fuck up plain and simple.

8. If Allawi is Prime Minister or in any other position of....

power, I will NOT recognize THAT "government". Allawi came in a distant third and he should "embrace" that position and let those who won the election govern.

15. A new twist in the plot

Allawi, Kurds Set to Form Coalition

BAGHDAD, February 12 – The two main Kurdish parties in Iraq have given their conditional go-ahead for a parliamentary coalition with interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, well-placed Kurdish sources have revealed.

The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) asked, in swap, for Allawi’s backing for PUK leader Jalal Talabani to be elected president, the sources told Al-Quds Press Friday, February 11.

During a surprise visit by Allawi to Arbil on Thursday, February 10, Kurdish officials further asked that Arabs in Kirkuk be regarded as “refugees” who must be deported gradually to allow the return of Kurds allegedly forced to leave their homes by the ousted regime of Saddam Hussein.

Allawi nodded enthusiastically to the Kurdish demands in return for backing his hard-fought battle to keep the much-coveted and influential prime minister post. The Allawi-Kurds deal came after the UIA failed to entice the two Kurdish parties into a parliamentary alliance, Al-Quds Press said.

18. Glad I'm not on the ground in Iraq, collecting my halliburton blood $!

Look out, when the Shia are told to take a back seat. They have absolutely nothing to lose. They will not go down without a fight.
