BAGHDAD,
IRAQ - The results of
a recently conducted poll in the war
torn landscape of Iraq have many independent
pundits scratching their heads in confusion,
as they show 64% of Iraqis would vote
for Saddam Hussein if the January elections
were held today.
The poll, given to a sample of 2,427
Iraqis from such insurgent strongholds
as Fallujah, Najaf and Baghdad listed
Prime Minister Iyad Allawi , Muqtada
al-Sadr's and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi potential
candidates, along with a blank space
for a write-in vote, as is seen on many
ballots issued in legitimate U.S. elections.
Conservative analysts had predicted
the results of the pre-election poll
would show that Allawi is the clear
cut frontrunner for the leadership of
Iraq, but following the Saddam victory
they are now virtually speechless as
the Iraqi people would apparently cast
their hard won votes for the very dictator
the U.S. military recently deposed.
„I don't understand," said
Republican chief political strategist
Karl Rove. „We rigged this thing
tighter than the Florida elections of
2000, and that dictator bastard won
anyway."
Iraqis were once again dancing in the
streets early Friday morning following
the announcement of the poll results
on the Arab news network al-Jazeera.
„Curse American infidels, with
Saddam at least we had electricity,
water, houses, security, no terrorism,
money, TV, intact families not decimated
by stray bombs " said shopkeeper
Muhammad al-Astani, who was still listing
things he had before the U.S. invasion
long after the news cameras has stopped
filming.
President Bush, fresh from his fourth
Crawford, Texas vacation in as many
weeks, said the Saddam polling victory
was just another sign of the „hard
work" in Iraq.
„This is hard work, and John Kerry
is a flip-flopper," said a visually
confused President Bush, who appeared
to be stuck in GOP talking points mode
following the staggeringly negative
news out of Iraq.
Bush is expected to invade North Korea
sometime next week to distract Americans
from the news in Iraq and win the election.
