Looking Forward To Iraqi Elections
Iraqi polling centers are set to open in about an hour from now.

I have exclusively obtained information about events in Iraq that I would like to share it with you.

Several of the people running for election to draw up Iraq's constitution have been observed by members of news media on this day prior to the election. Their reports are being shared here so that in case you don't see any of the major network broadcasts, you will have the most up-to-date information. Keep in mind that this information has not been verified, because, frankly, I have it on good authority that everything being reported here is blatantly made up.

Ahmed Al bin Algoore has been spotted at the Supreme Court of Iraq asking that every vote be counted.

Another Iraqi running for election, Ahmed Al bin Keeray was making a long speech. His supporters were desperately pleading with him to explain just what he was saying. Reporters again are working on this translation. Their initial assessment was that he was for the elections before he was against them.

Ahmed Al bin Ahareddean was speaking with some supporters. It wasn't readily apparent what he was saying, but the first attempt at the translation was something like "We're going to Basra, we're going to Baghdad, we're going to Kirkuk, Karbala, Ramadi, we're going to Mosul and Fallujah." There was some sort of unintelligible yell or scream right after that. Reporters are still trying to discern its meaning.

And finally, Ahmed Al bin Gebuushii promised to bring all the competing factions together. There is some concern in Iraq if he will be able to rule because he doesn't have a firm grasp on the Iraqi language.
