On the cover of The Economist.

Discuss.

Haven't seen it. Further explanation?

I've said before that I find the notion of a Democratic election when they've still got an insurgency going to be sort've funny.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news... but, even they don’t see it looking good.

[Warriorbird]

Funny. But at the least it gives a "goal" reached so they can withdraw and leave the Iraqis to fend for themselves/take Iran.

Anyone with an f-ing brain can see this is a major f-up.

We're not pulling out, and that was never the plan after the elections. Anyone with half a brain would understand and know that.

Since we're talking about the elections and what not ....

My friends and I are having a betting pot for the assasination date of the new Iraqi Leader. Send me a U2u if you're interested. It's $5 a date, we have about 75 entries so far.

Already bombings this morning and hundreds of police uniforms missing. Attacks on 8 voting centers so far. Shiites will probably elect who they would like - as the other group (Su-ni?) are boycotting.
