We're going to have this vote on Sunday in Iraq. The libs are going to downplay it or denounce it, looking for imperfections and problems, which is why CBS has staked out the Sunni triangle, which is a small part of the nation. You know, we've had in the past, the nuclear holocaust fearmongers have given us the doomsday clock, remember that? They move it ever closer to midnight as, you know, something happened, wind farm wasn't built or something, as we got closer to nuclear destruction, as the pessimists dwelt on our eventual mass death. We need something here to counter, like a democracy clock or maybe a liberation clock, for the rest of us, because we're counting down the days and the hours now to the election in Iraq on Sunday.
We're four days away, and let me go through a little list of things, tell you what to watch for, what to expect and what to ignore. There will be an election and there will be a turnout. There will be acts of violence and there will be happy voters. The images of violence will upstage the happy images. You'll have to look long and hard to see happy images on television, at least in Al Jazeera and the American media. The most explosive acts of violence will likely take place closest to where the journalists are stationed, which is why CBS is in the Sunni triangle. There will be higher piles of Barbra Streisand attempted to turn triumph into disaster than Florida, Ohio, and Afghanistan combined. I'm just warning you what's going to happen here, folks. We know what's going to happen. There's going to be an election. It's going to go fine except everywhere in the U.S. media.
The Arab League, get this, will probably challenge the authenticity of the vote as if they know what the authenticity of any vote means or is. There will be postelection violence, giving the hope to the left and the New York Times that it might still fail. The violence will not take place just before and during the election, but afterwards, and this will give the media fodder for saying the whole thing was a botched effort, it didn't succeed. There will be reports of an exceedingly low turnout given expectations. Oh, woe is us, Bush has simply resulted, his policies, in getting more people killed. And then there will be a mad race on the left to come up with a phrase or a slogan that the media can rally around, sort of like Hillary's vast right-wing conspiracy or Kennedy's no imminent threat. Any focus group line that can keep the bad news-Democrats hoping, ladies and gentlemen. And there will not be a perfect democracy the day after the election, but the dominos are falling and some are going to fall in real time, some in slow motion, and all the spin in the world is not going to change that. Let's not forget, these are the same liberals who say that we've suffered too much casualties in Iraq. And, by the way, they say this not out of sympathy. No, no, they're not saying it out of sympathy, they're saying it for exploitation purposes. They said we would suffer far more casualties before we went to war. Remember that? If we were to say before the war that we would suffer 1,400 dead almost three years into the war, these same libs would have said no way. And if you doubt this, I did a little research today, and I only had time to find one story, but it is from November 12, 2002, from the Rocky Mountain News.
"Former Senator Gary Hart has joined those who have parted the veil to the future and foreseen the number of U.S. killed and wounded in a possible war with Iraq. Gary Hart's estimate, 5,000 to 10,000. Hart thus joins the growing list of both critics and supporters of President Bush's policy who have tossed prudence to the wind and offered casualty predictions. Conveniently, the estimates of Bush critics such as Hart tend to be on the high side, while those of supporters tend to be modeled upon casualties sustained during the first Gulf War and the rout in Afghanistan."
So 1,400 dead so far, Gary Hart among the leaders predicting 5,000 to 10,000, other members of the left, we're talking about body bags in even greater excess, and so if you go back and you look at the dire doom and gloom predictions of the opponents of this war before it started, the same predictions they made before the first Gulf War, 30 to 50,000 body bags they said we would need back then. They revised it downward to 5 to 10,000 for this Iraq war. We are at 1,400. If you had told them that the casualty rate would be 1,400, and the combat casualty rate would be far less than that, they would have pooh-poohed you and said no way.
You know, it is just incredible to watch. The doom-and-gloom crowd cannot stop itself. Here you have a major domino falling, a tremendous aspect and part of the president's vision will come to pass on Sunday and you can't find anything but negative reporting about it, either the factual stuff that's happening today, or the hope. There is absolute hope, you can read it between the lines in newspapers and you can hear it in the tone of electronic reporters, broadcast reporters, there is hope that this whole thing goes awry, blows up in people's faces. Not because they have any sympathy, ladies and gentlemen; because they seek to exploit it. Because the last thing the left in this country wants is a successful election in Iraq, because that will redound to George W. Bush and his program and his vision, they can't handle that. And of course it still amazes me that they've positioned themselves in such a way politically as to only benefit when things that America seems to accomplish fail. But that's your modern Democrat Party and its liberal wing.
Whew... Ok, that isn't supposed to offend anyone. Its just opinion. Whats you peoples opinions? We're going to have this vote on Sunday in Iraq.
