Watching Fox News today and they are very emotional over the turnout in the elections. To see the millions of people of Iraq entering those booths, voting, and coming out with a smile on their face…it’s just amazing. It is like seeing the Berlin wall going down, it’s like seeing the black voting for the first time, it’s just amazing.
If you want to see the reactions please tune to FoxNews. I’m not sure if the other stations will broadcast this historical day…
FoxNews is interviewing some Iraq's who have voted and they are grateful that the US is helping them out, grateful that they don't have to worry about threats of Saddam, and just grateful that they can feel freedom. This is the biggest slap in the face to the terrorists when millions of people are moving into a democratic society.
This will be a historic day.
I can see in the history books along with great President's such as Reagan; Bush ending terrorism in Iraq/Saddam captured/Mass murderous graves shutdown/start of democracy in Iraq. |

| Well you could say that but I will continue to support what the troops are there for. | |

Level up: 30%, 149 Points needed | | Yeah for the sake of the future viewers of this thread, it was on every other news station that day and the footage was identical, the only differance was I couldn't hear over the commentators on Fox, the slurping sounds they were making as they sucked the administrations cock were too loud.

Does it make you want to cry that Fox was covering the historical day while other stations were only covering 2 minutes of the story?? | |
