Subject: Premature Celebrations over Iraqi Voter Turnout

You’re going to like this next discussion. First I just want to say I just heard that the President has made it clear that the U.S. does not engage in torture. He also made it clear we didn’t engage in nation building that he is now bragging about. I have to bring a couple of points forth that have not been mentioned and you have to listen to so you can have the full picture and think for yourself. The President is now bragging about today’s voting outcome in Iraq. As well he and the Iraqi’s should if it were that cut and dry but think about these little facts.
You can’t expect terrorists to be roaming around under total lockdown. You can’t expect car bombings when vehicles aren’t allowed on the road. You can’t declare a victory when the vote is under the defense of a gun barrel. That isn’t all of it. Sunni’s came out this time in order to legally try to get their majority rule. If they don’t get it there are no guarantees here. The terrorists many of which are Sunni’s and Saddam loyalists as much as we might want to think they are they’re not stupid. They know with all the Sunni’s out to vote if they were out murdering voters they would be killing Sunni’s too. They know this would turn the people against them even further and it would only serve to hurt their cause. I will feel good about today’s events when security is back to its normal high, vehicles are back on the road, and the insurgency bombings and murders aren’t even higher than they were before the election.
