Iraq elections

[newtron]

I recently read about the possibility that the US was involved in the manipulation of the election outcome in Iraq, which reduced the percentage of the vote received by the United Iraqi Alliance from 56% to 48%.  Has anyone else heard about this?

George W. Bush being involved in dubious election practice?  You must be kidding. That's the top man you're talking about.  Be aware.....Big Brother is probably tuned in to you right now!!   Even TB might be upset at such monstrous allegations.  Be good.

The US presidential elections were allegedly manipulated in this way.  I have extracts from many reputable US newspapers.  Not enough space here, but an alleged example is a polling station where black voters (who were expected to vote Democrat) had to queue for up to 11 hours, while white voters (who were expected to vote Republican) were in and out in minutes.

I agree.  It's not very surprising!

This wouldn't suprise me in the least, he seemed to pretty much sort his own election so why not theirs! They seem to think they know what is best for the majority, voting is never fair as it always seems to be tampered with, i wonder what will happen in our elction only time will tell Mr Blair.......
