Scenes from the Iraqi election

Posted on February 1, 2009 by Sappho

The Sadrists claim that one of their sup­ported blocs obtained the major­ity in four provinces (A’mara, Babil, Najaf, Basra) but all other reports denies these claims.

Al-Hakim’s Supreme Coun­cil hinted to their low results but they are still head to head against Maliki in Najaf [why he called every­one in the gov­ern­ment???], but the “sur­prise” biggest win­ner until now is Allawi, another sur­prise is that an inde­pen­dent can­di­date obtained the major­ity of the votes in the sec­ond Shi­ites holy city Karbala.

A good report on Al-Qabas about how Maliki’s image on TV catches the vot­ers imag­i­na­tions tak­ing an exam­ple of a can­di­date called Shiltag Aboud who used a photo of Maliki at the back­ground of his poster ads, peo­ple voted for him although they don’t know who is Shiltag Aboud.

The same above goes for Allawi, the report con­firmed that the Sadrists-supported blocs are also doing well.

The Sheikhiya Shi­ite needed a Fataw from their biggest Shi­ite ref­er­ence ‘Ali Al-Mousawi” to obtain the major­ity for their can­di­date who is also the the chief of “sons of Amir” tribe.

    Get­ting the new fitna, a.k.a. “with­drawal plan” a.k.a. the “Afghanistaniza­tion” right requires Maliki’s “vic­tory” so that they must be pretty busy with forg­ing the “results” that way, don’t they?

    It will take sev­eral days to dump the “wrong” can­di­dates and replace the votes with al-Maliki, but we’re con­fi­dent that with the kind help of the USraeli-hijacked UNSC team (UNAMI) they’ll manage.…

    Some “vot­ers” are already reach­ing the conclusions:

    No won­der it is ille­gal accord­ing to the inter­na­tional law to orches­trate pup­pet elec­tions in the war zones: the occu­pa­tion is always unable to resist the “temp­ta­tion” to arise the local par­ties each other…

    Pity that now that the USraeli-hijacked UNSC is one of the key occu­piers itself, it won’t care a shit about the inter­na­tional law…

    Don’t want to cause any­body a “too shock­ing sur­prise” so fetch your nitros before open­ing fol­low­ing link:

    URGENT / PM’s list gar­ners 38% of votes in Bagh­dad

    The only thing we’re won­der­ing here is why waste so much time and lives on “elec­tions” at all when the “results” were long known before the count — even here in far-away Finland…
