If you had it your way...

...Saddam Hussein would have received 99% of the vote. Again.

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. Today, the people of Iraq went to the polls to choose their leaders in Iraq’s second national election. By any measure, this was an important milestone in Iraqi history. Dozens of parties and coalitions fielded thousands of parliamentary candidates, men and women. Ballots were cast at some 50,000 voting booths. And in a strong turnout, millions of Iraqis exercised their right to vote, with enthusiasm and optimism.

And you did what, exactly to facilitate that process? Oh. Nothing. You opposed the war and the Surge, and you didn't bother to mention the word "victory," though you were good enough to mention the people who fought and died to make this happen.

Oh, and the despot who had ruled the country for decades before our troops went in there and plucked his murderous ass out of a fucking filthy hole? You know, the guy who ruled as a dictator there for decades? I didn't notice a mention of him in your speech. Or the multitude of people who he murdered.

You worked hard against this election, you fucking asshole. You should be apologizing to the people of Iraq.
