AP - Iraq Officials Seek Delay For Elections
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Leading Iraqi politicians called Friday for a six-month delay in the Jan. 30 election because of the spiraling violence as U.S. forced uncovered more bodies in the northern city of Mosul, apparent victims of an intimidation campaign by insurgents against Iraq's fledgling security forces.

Asked about their demand for the election to be postponed, President (sic) George W. Bush, at his vacation home in Texas, said, "The Iraqi Election Commission has scheduled elections in January, and I would hope they'd go forward in January."

Guess nobody has told Golden Assed Georgie that all hell has broken out there in the last year or so. And since his party can't even conduct fair elections in places like Ohio and Florida, how the hell are his Iraqi bunker-bound puppets going to make one happen in a full blown war zone?

Translation: We're going to be mired in Georgie's little meat grinder vanity war forever.
