What ever Cow. I'm not the one who said last week that the Americans would never consider attempting to impact the out come of the election, only to have a report come out to say that they have and indeed will. Desperate? Hardly. I'm right on this (as usual). You're wrong. The proof is right there in black and white. Accept your lumps like a man and move along.

I said it was reasonable to assume, weighing all the factors, that it would be against their national interests to rig the Iraqi election and therefore unlikely that they would do . . . . which apparently is quite true as we can see from the story.
A contingency plan that never saw the light of day is hardly "proof" of anything, including intent. As I pointed out earlier, there are contingency plans in the Pentagon for blowing up Iran, Syria, North Korea and for all I know, Canada as well.
When and if they actually rig the election, get back to us with the boasting and I will grovel at your feet willingly. Seriously. Because then you would be right. Finally.
