Iraq Votes
Iraqis turned out in droves to vote on their new constitution. Read Andrew Cochrane's account here.
Bill Roggio on Election Day Eve in Iraq.
Michelle Malkin On The Vote.
UPDATE: Austin Bay presents an illuminating comparison of various election reports from Iraq.
I especially appreciated Roger L. Simon's concise admonishment:
Because the mainstream media has done its best to hypnotize the public into believing the “failure” of the American democracy project in Iraq, it is worth comparing some dates:
Operation Iraqi Freedom - began March 19, 2003
Election to ratify constitution for a democratic Iraq - October 14, 2005
That’s two years and seven months.
US Declaration of Independence - July 4, 1776
Completion of US Constitution - September 17, 1787 (took effect 1789)
That’s eleven years and two months. (I could have begun with the Boston Tea Party which would have added another three years.)
Anybody want to take a bet about how history will regard Operation Iraqi Freedom? No wonder the New York Times is singing a (relatively) different tune this morning.
