The Constitution Referendum, and the Not-So-Great Ramadan Offensive
By Bill Roggio
The Iraqis have voted on the referendum. Turnout is reported to be high 
in many areas of Iraq. Saddam's own hometown in Tikrit is estimated to 
have had a 78% turnout. Dr. Fareed Ayar, a member of the Independent 
Electoral Commission of Iraq, estimates over 11 million particpated in 
the ballot, almost 70% of the registered voters. The much touted 
"Ramadan Offensive", designed to disrupt the election process and bring 
the Iraqi people to their knees has failed.
Iraqis have voted in places that were formerly parts of Zarqawi's 
"Islamic Republic". Turnout is not likely to be high in along some areas 
of the Euphrates in Anbar due to the recent operations, the uncertainty 
of security measures and the secrecy of the location of the polling 
places until the final minutes leading up to the election. But any 
turnout is a mcuh alters state of affairs in the regions where citizens 
were formerly inimidated by Zarqawi's butchers.
An Iraqi citizen raises his purple stained finger in the former "Islamic 
Republic of Qaim" (pictured). Iraqi soldiers now stand guard of the city 
of Barwana (pictured), another of Zarqawi's former strongholds where 
citizens were executed on the Barwana bridge for minor violations of the 
strict interpretations of Salafi Shariah law. A trusted source in Ramadi 
sends the following story of the heroism of an Iraqi poll worker after 
his polling site was attacked and he was wounded:
     In Ramadi, a polling site received three rounds of indirect fire 
and five rounds of small arms fire. An Iraqi Poll Worker was injured by 
shrapnel and a CASEVAC was coordinated. However, it appears the Semper 
Fidelis attitude of the Marines has rubbed off as he refused to be 
evacuated and insisted on remaining at the polling site. The polling 
site remained operational and many Iraqi citizens displayed equal 
tenacity by remaining in line to vote.
Iraqi Security Forces provided the bulk of the security during election 
day. Motor vehicle activity was prohibited to reduce the threat of car 
bombings. The security was set up in three rings, with Iraqi police 
patrolling the inner ring: the polling places, Iraqi Army in the middle 
ring and U.S. and Coalition forces in the outer ring, acting as a quick 
reaction force if needed. The Iraqi Police and Army did the heavy 
lifting in providing security.
al Qaeda and their insurgent allies still tried to disrupt the election 
with violence. The following list of attacks is the extent of the 
terrorist's reach. Behold the might of al Qaeda and its fearsome Ramadan 
Offensive:
- Gunmen fired on two polling stations in Baghdad. No injuries.
- Office of the Iraqi Islamic Party is torched in Fallujah. No injuries.
- Office of the Iraqi Islamic Party is struck by a roadside bomb in 
Baghdad. No injuries.
- Office of the Iraqi Islamic Party is destroyed in an attack in Baiji. 
No injuries.
- Terrorists blow up the home of the local Iraqi Islamic Party chief in 
Ramadi. No injuries.
- Five security guards wounded in a car bombing near a mosque in Kirkuk
- Four civilians wounded in a roadside bombing targeting a U.S. patrol 
in Baghdad.
- Fifteen insurgents arrested as they prepared to attack polling centers 
in Mosul. No injuries.
- Power cut in 70% of Baghdad after power lines are sabotaged north of 
the city.
- Two police wounded in roadside bombing while patrolling near a polling 
station in Baghdad.
- Civilian killed by sniper fire near polling station in Baghdad.
- Three insurgents attacked an empty polling station South of Basra, and 
are captured. No Injuries.
- One policeman is wounded after a roadside bomb exploded near a polling 
station in western Baghdad.
- Fighting reported between a small band of insurgents and U.S. troops 
on patrol in Ramadi. No casualties reported.
While the halting of motor vehicle activity is likely to have had an 
impact on the number deadly mass casualty incidents, al Qaeda and other 
Islamists still had the option to use suicide vests and other methods of 
attack. That these tactics were not employed is curious.
Either al Qaeda did not have the resources to conduct such attacks, 
could not penetrate the security of the Coalition, or did not have the 
will to attack Iraqis exercising their democratic rights. No matter what 
the reason, this is a victory for the Iraqi people and another strategic 
defeat for al Qaeda. When given a choice between the vision of the 
Islamists and the ideal of freedom, Iraqis brave the jihadi's threats of 
violence and reject al Qaeda's hateful ideology. Every time.

Perché ti informi esclusivamente sul blog (già comprovato come inaffidabile)
di Bill Roggio? :)

Sarei interessato a sapere da dove viene questa affermazione di 
inaffidabilità.
Hai qualche cosa che possa provarlo oppure no?

semplice il fatto che bill roggio sia probabilmente un mangiamerda 
pagato dal pentagono ed in ogni caso non essendo sto tipo praticamente 
nessuno la sua opinione vale quanto la mia o la tua o quella di decessi 
per cui è inutile che posti le sue stronzate tantovale sentire 
direttamente le tue. Sto Bill Roggio non è neppure un pubblicista.

Cioè, non è affidabile come sorgente di informazioni solo perché non la 
pensa come te.
Se uno non la pensa come te è:
1) Ignoranmte
2) Stupido
3) Malvagio
Tipica struttura mentale di sinistra.

P.S.
Aspetto che qualcun' altro mi possa dimostrare che Bill Roggio è una 
fonte inaffidabile di notizie.
Peccato che il 99% dei suoi articoli sia supportato da link a sorgenti 
ufficiali di stampa (Washington Post, New York Times, New York Post, 
Yahoo, Roiters, al-Jazeera, etc.)
Quello che è interessante è che si prende la briga di dare una 
spiegazione e una struttura alle notizie, cosa che la stampa non ha il 
tempo/voglia/interesse/capacità di fare.
