Sorry about the ambiguity. Replying to the thread title. Round about the fifth time I've seen it and temptation finally got the better of me.
As a friend of mine postd to another board I belong to,

There is no definitive assessment as to the voter turnout, since, well, the US CPA and US puppet interim government registered all voters and managed the incoming voter rolls on election day. I have no confidence in the honesty of the US and US puppet interim government with regard to reporting on benchmarks on the path to an Iraqi democracy. Good news is so badly wanted by the administration in this regard that were the news not so great, they might be tempted to fabricate it as so.
It seems odd to me that 5 minutes after the election, we know (an alleged) 78% of eligible voters turned out to this election, but that for some reason we cannot assess, or even estimate, how many Iraqis we've killed in the past two years.

I am not quite that hardcore about it, but I think if we succeed in Iraq, it won't be for lack of trying.
Support the troops, not the mission.
