Looks like Iran has just got caught with their hands in the Iraqi cookie jar. (Found at TotalFark Via Drudge and Kos via NYTimes):
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec. 13 - Less than two days before nationwide elections, Iraqi border police seized a tanker on Tuesday that had just crossed from Iran filled with thousands of forged ballots, an official at Iraq's Interior Ministry said.
Becuase the Shiites need so much help in getting a majority on stuff there.
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said the Iranian truck driver told the police under interrogation that at least three other trucks filled with ballots had crossed from Iran at different spots along the border.
I'm glad Iran is showing some interest in democracy. Now can they do it without Imam approval on the candidates?
At a news conference on Tuesday, hours before the ballot seizure, the American ambassador in Baghdad, Zalmay Khalilzad, spoke of what he said were overt Iranian attempts to influence events in Iraq.
I am going to wait and see how this develops. If this turns out to be true, grab the popcorn, and get ready for the fireworks show.
