Two-Faced Bush Orders CIA to RIG Iraqi Elections!

[Stephanie]

So the Iraqi elections will be "free and fair" - except that they won't.

Tell the TRUTH, Mr. Bush. Why do you say the Iraqi elections will be free and fair when you've already ordered the CIA to rig them?

Prez pledges to block Iran on nukes, Iraq

The U.S. is also chafing over Iran's efforts to secretly aid candidates in the planned January elections in Iraq - so much so that the White House recently approved a plan for the CIA to covertly support opponents favored by Washington, Time magazine reported.

Countering Iranian influence among Iraq's majority Shiites has long been a goal of U.S. officials who fear the rise of another Islamic state in the region.

But a National Security Council official claimed the CIA plan has been scrapped.

Security council spokesman Sean McCormack told Time that the U.S. has decided to "not try to influence the outcome of the upcoming Iraqi election" through covert action.

One senior official told the Daily News that McCormack's remarks may have been aimed at calming lawmakers upset that the U.S. might try to rig the Iraqi elections. But the groundwork may already have been laid because the White House directed the CIA months ago to conduct the clandestine operations.

1. That's all that scumbag knows how to do......

rig elections. If he rigs this one here it's going to end up in a civil war because the people will not accept another fraudulent 4 years of this fascist regime.

4. They already have they will do it again -

bush has no intention of giving up office whether it be win, lose or draw - he fully intends to stay in office regardless of what happens.

getting a lot of play in the media.

7. I can't understand why not

It's like the eighteenth rationale for the Iraq invasion - we're "spreading freedom" - "spreading democracy" - and now we learn that the democracy line is also a farce. That Rumsfeld doesn't care if only some of the Iraqi's get to vote. And that Bush will rig the whole thing regardless, if he's not booted from the WH before then.

This is not NEWS? It directly belies everything Bush claims to be fighting for.

8. I will kick one more time
