#2  Rafi sez - "It is a victory because it is the opposite of what the US and its collaborators sought. The Americans were seeking to occupy the land and intimidate the people from their military bases and embassies by putting a puppet government in power."

Talk about spin!

So a free and fair election was not the 'victory', 'cuz then the somma their folks might want to have one in Iran.

On the other hand, I suppose that's an acknowledgement the new Iraq government is not a puppet of the Great Satan? Doe that mean the Iranians succeeded in stuffing the ballot boxes?
