Iraq Election "Resounding Success"

Because Bush said so and CNN says so (remember when freepers called CNN Clinton Network News). Above article claims a 72 percent turnout but according to Reuters Iraq Electoral Commission has backtracked on that figure, now guesstimating 60 percent. Apparently the Shiite/Shias are the dominating party. Am I the only one who remembers the 1980s bumper sticker that said "No Shiite" with the extra "i" and the "e" having a line drawn through them? I suppose that's when Rummy was selling Saddam all those WMDs. United Iraqi Alliance, is endorsed by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani who issued a fatwa that said it was a religious duty to vote. But the party claims to be secular dominated and not to worry about a theocracy or clergy rule, you know the spiel. The Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani will not be voting b/c of his Iranian nationality. An Iranian Shiite, the biggest influence on the Iraq election, no shit.
