Seymour Hersh: Elections in Iraq Were Rigged

If Hersh's article in The New Yorker is correct... (& let's face it, he has been dead-on correct on much of this WH's handling of issues) how can anyone POSSIBILY justify all of our US injuries and deaths by saying that the "purple finger" election was such a "raving success"? A rigged election is NOT a raving success, and I cannot imagine how badly this will play out to the Iraqis- who already are barely tolerating our occupying presence. Nancy Pelosi objected to the US interferring into the Iraqi elections: " “Did we have 1100 Americans die”-(the number of US combat deaths as of last Sept)- “so they could have a rigged election?” Apparantly, our soldiers' sacrifice wasn't worthy enough: "...the Bush Administration decided to override Pelosi’s objections and covertly intervene in the Iraqi election." Amazing. Yet ANOTHER major blunder and fuck-up of enormous magnitude brought to us by Il Duce Bush and the blood thirsty Neo-Cons.
