Thousands of troops storm Fallujah
Bush cynically held off on this invasion until after the election, as Americans coming home in body bags might have influenced people to vote against him. The Iraq puppet government has declared martial law, and this with the “elections” in just two months. Uh huh, sure the elections will happen. The US has stormed and taken a hospital, which would appear to be against the Geneva Convention, not that the Bushies care about that.
Insurgents waged a second day of multiple attacks across the restive Sunni Triangle north and west of Baghdad, storming police stations, assassinating government officials and setting off deadly car bombs. About 60 people have been killed and 75 injured in the two days of attacks.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and others have warned that a military offensive could trigger a wave of violence that would sabotage the January elections by alienating the Sunni minority which forms the core of the insurgency.
It’s quite possible the Bushies don’t want elections, as they know damn well what the results will be - which makes a mockery of their rationalization for being there, to bring democracy to Iraq.

While the heavily scrutinized touch-screen voting machines seemed to produce results in which the registered Democrat/Republican ratios largely matched the Kerry/Bush vote, in Florida’s counties using results from optically scanned paper ballots - fed into a central tabulator PC and thus vulnerable to hacking – the results seem to contain substantial anomalies.
In Baker County, for example, with 12,887 registered voters, 69.3% of them Democrats and 24.3% of them Republicans, the vote was only 2,180 for Kerry and 7,738 for Bush, the opposite of what is seen everywhere else in the country where registered Democrats largely voted for Kerry.
In Dixie County, with 9,676 registered voters, 77.5% of them Democrats and a mere 15% registered as Republicans, only 1,959 people voted for Kerry, but 4,433 voted for Bush.
The pattern repeats over and over again - but only in the counties where optical scanners were used. Franklin County, 77.3% registered Democrats, went 58.5% for Bush. Holmes County, 72.7% registered Democrats, went 77.25% for Bush.
It does not seem credible that these extreme voting shifts would have happened legitimately in only those areas with opticial scanners.
