Syria's President Bashar Assad overwhelmingly wins second term in vote with no oppone

DAMASCUS, Syria -- President Bashar Assad won another seven years in office, getting 97 percent of the vote in a referendum on his leadership in which he was the only candidate, according to results announced Tuesday.

The United States sarcastically noted Assad's "ability to have defeated exactly zero other candidates."

Assad's regime is under intense international scrutiny, accused of meddling in Iraq, supporting Palestinian militant groups, and involvement in the assassination of Lebanon's former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005. Under his rule, Syrian troops were forced to withdraw from Lebanon following an outcry over Hariri's killing.

Still hundreds of thousands of Syrians in white caps and T-shirts bearing Assad's picture beat drums and danced in the streets of Damascus to celebrate the result. They also swarmed outside the presidential palace to congratulate the president.

Victory celebrations in Syria have been going on ever since parliament, which is dominated by a pro-government Baathist coalition, unanimously nominated the 42-year-old leader on May 10 for another term.

Interior Minister Bassam Abdul-Majid said 95 percent of the country's almost 12 million voters turned out at the polls in Sunday's presidential vote. Only 19,635 voters said "no" to Assad's re-election, while 253,000 ballots were considered invalid.

LOL.......what more is there to say.

Have a good one!:s4:

Hmmm I wonder why? Maybe no one wanted to oppose b/c they value their lives? Hmmm? Hmmm?

Well at least they dont pretend to have a fake election with opponents who have no chance of winning.I bet Bush is jealous.

How come when liberals lose an election the republicans fixed it?

So what the 2000 election wasnt rigged LOL.It seems everyone knows that except the Americans LOL

Yeah coming from someone who doesn't even live here! Oh my, thats rich.

So you think that the 2000 election wasnt rigged?

Oh please. Do you people sincerely believe we have REAL elections here in the United States? First, ALL mainstream canidates are selected by the elite before they're "elected" by you. Hence the fact the mainstream media (which CNN and foxnews admit they have, or had US psychological warfare experts working in their newsrooms)
consistantly overload us with giuliani,mccain,romney,clinton,obama etc. It is all about conditioning us to accept their puppets. Meanwhile they viciously ignore the legit canidates, or when forced to bring them up due to winning every major poll (Ron Paul) they trash, or degrade them, and claim that indiviuals are "messing" with the polls. They also tried to get him kicked out of the debates.

Let's just take a look back at the 2004 "election". First, both canidates John Kerry and George W Bush are part of Yale's secret society "Skull and Bones". This secret satanic society initiates 15 members each year. Which means there is roughly 800 living members right now. However, we couldn't even get one canidate that wasn't from that group. On top of that, they are distant cousins!!!! But hey, don't let me drag you down! any man or woman can be president! :rolleyes:

That being said, left and right now of days are merely two sides of the same coin. Let's examine the policies of George W Bush and John Kerry- they both were for overspending,illegal immigration,gun control,nafta and gatt, foreign aid, they both believe in the welfare state just differences in degree, both for the patriot act, both voted for the war. The two political parties have pratically coincided, yet the left and right are mo devided than ever.

However, they do like to get a certain "canidate" in office, as it helps sell the left/right illusion. Which is why the presidental elections are all stolen if it isn't a clear landside. They now admit that Ohio was stolen, Hell, election officals were even convicted for rigging the 2004 presidental recount. Doesn't make the CFR dominated mainstream media though (David Rockefeller openly admits the CFR and his banker buddies set the mainstream media agenda) :(

In 2008 Hillary will be the next president, as it is time to pass the baton to the liberals. The country is being destroyed before our very eyes people, it is time to wake up and shatter this left/right paradigm

Give that man a cigar

SYRIAN DICTATOR HOLDS FAKE ELECTION.............."well, Gore lost in 2000." What a joke! I think your Canadian butt would be safer walking the streets of D.C. than Damascus but hey, anything it takes to bash the Big Dog. If the proverbial shit hits the roof I hope our leaders remember who our allies really are.

Have a good one!:s4:

Hell dude, you want to cut and run in Afghanistan which was given the thumbs up by the U.N.!

And once again the left finds it necessary to avoid the issue of another country doing wrong but diverts the theme to the big bad U.S.A.

I guess Pelosi in a burka got ya all hot and bothered! LOL

Yea, I'm all for cut and run. Then maybe we could put some of those troops on our borders and keep out the terrorists. Maybe we could use the army corps of engineers to build a wall with gun towers every 300 yards and a mined space between the fence and the wall. It's only the elites and corporations (republicans) and a few rich democrats that want to stay in Iraq. Hey P4B, why the big thumbs up for UN approval in Afganistan and no mention of Non-approval in Iraq, kind of hypocritical don't ya think! And BTW, just because I don't approve the wars, does not make me a lefty. I'm a moderate. Leftys want to give the illegals the world, I want to give them the boot. Yes, I'd rather see the money being wasted on these wars spent on improving life in our own country, any citizen without a financial benefit to gain from this war would probably feel the same regardless of political affiliation.

HELL YEAH! I'm all for that.....shit, give them illegals the jobs for building the damn thing just as long as their on the other side when the last wall is complete. I'd put in some seismic sensors just in case they wanted to try tunneling too. It worked for the Chinese on their wall when they built it. :thumbsup:

Not at all, I was responding to our friend from Canada so there is really no reason to bring Iraq into that equation.

Your like an Oreo cookie politically........your left on the outside with a creamy neo-con gun toting middle. LOL

Have a good one!:s4:

Im not really against the war in Afghanistan i just think they meaning the Afghan government should fucking stand on their own 2 feet and sacrafice their own kids not ours.Why should our blood be spilled to keep that government afloat fuck that.And dont say its to keep the Taliban from getting in power and creating terrorist training camps so they can ship over here,because all it would take is a few bloody bombs and no more camps.

So I take it that Canada is willing to pay for this eternal bombing? We had to develope a high tech bomb just to take care of the caves half ass.
CNN.com - Pentagon to use new bomb on Afghan caves - December 23, 2001

It's either help out a government and it's troops in their early stages or just use Afghanistan as a bomb magnet.

Have a good one!:s4:

LOL A BOMB MAGNET i like that idea P4B.But usually the training camps are in isolated areas are they not?So if they build a training camp we just bomb it sooner or later they will get the message.

Your like an Oreo cookie politically........your left on the outside with a creamy neo-con gun toting middle. LOL

Wouldn't that be called a moderate? I'm just not a fanatic like most political folks. A little of this and a little of that. I tend to lean towards what I consider the common sense of the matter, some times it's not too common.

Moderate?? LMAO! Dude, when you lean this way and then lean that way it's a HARD to the left and HARD to the right.....not really moderate as they would say. LOL

Now on the other hand, I'm VERY moderate....that's why I'm a moderat-or. LOL
