Ah yes, the "so called election." Nothing like hearing from the "The Glass Is Eternally Half-Empty" crowd. 
I think this article brings up a lot of good points... too bad they will mostly fall on deaf ears. What this gentleman has yet to learn is that most of the opposition to the war in the media and the United States has nothing to do with Iraq or terrorists. It has to do with being against Republicans in general, and George W. Bush in particular, and no amount of truth about how well the war is going is going to change that fact.

You can always count on Sparx to open mouth - insert foot!
Dear, dear Sparx...if you had bothered to actually READ the article, you would have seen that he wrote about the media coverage of the war - not something adverse to the war effort.

You know what's funny? I was watching the news this morning and they were boo-hooing about how not everyone in Iraq will be voting in the elction because of terrorists threats or whatever, then talking about how the results will be invalid because of this.
In this country, all you have to do is haul your butt down to the voting place and tap a screen and we STILL only get about 50% turnout. But, somehow, there must be 100% turnout in Iraq or it's a failure.
I don't get that.

Only because his opponent was enjoying himself at that dang place where they hang ya from the ceiling & attach electrical cords to your nads...... If he could only get past that addiction.Ken King said:I guess they are going by the most recent election where Saddam got 100%.

Look...
...I am all for every single long story or tidbit of good news out of Iraq and Afghanistan but it will NEVER make a diffierence with folks like Sparx and Co.
Five year from now, it is very likely that Iraq will be moving along rather nicely as a Democracy. We'll still be there supporting them and there will be struggles and for all I know, Saddam, like Marion Berry, will be making a comeback at the polls.
But it will be good and it will still have been the right thing to do and the simplest way to justify it will be to imagine what Iraq would be like now and in five years or ten or more had we kept on with the Democratic parties game plan of doing...nothing. Don't forget, Clinton had eight full years.
Bottom line is the same: Saddam had to be dealt with sooner or later, sooner being better.
