Problems With Iraqi Election, al-Jazeera Pundit Warns

One of al-Jazeera's pundits, Osama Bin Laden, who recently covered both the U.S. and Saudi political situations on behalf of the channel, has given his verdict on the upcoming Iraqi elections.
Speaking on tape, Bin Laden predicted a high turnout at the polls, scheduled for January 30th, but cautioned that one-hundred per-cent of voters are expected to 'spend eternity in hell, where they will have their bellies eaten with fire'. Osama stressed: 'Theirs will be a painful doom.'
Osama also questioned the validity of the election process itself, drawing attention to 'serious flaws' in the new Iraqi constitution. Although endorsed by Britain and the U.S., Osama noted that the ballot-system is unlikely to meet with approval in heavenly circles, where standards are somewhat more exacting. This point has also been echoed by the United Nations, who have expressed concern about the election.
Bin Laden went further, however, stating that 'angels [will] smite the face and backs of disbelievers, saying: "Taste the punishment of burning!"'
One ray of hope lies in the Mujahidin Unity Coalition (MUC) Bin Laden is forming with his long-time associate on the ground, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. It is expected that MUC will protest the election process, and, if successful, establish what Bin Laden called a 'state of righteousness' in which 'Allah will throw fear into the hearts of the disbelievers, and smite their necks and fingers.'
