Another fun thought on bush's Total FU in Iraq;
Aside from the Kurds and the Shia being aligned with IRAN; apart from the SCIRI (al Sistani's IRANIAN party) winning some 72% of the votes so far, is the little not-talked-about rule for the writing of Iraq's Constitution, which is suppoed to be written by this August...

It only takes 3 provinces to overrule the Constitution, requiring another be written.

The Sunnis are the majority...in 3 provinces.

One decade later:

"No."

"Nope."

"I'm getting a NO here."

1. A democracy bitterly divided by party lines? Impossible!

We get to watch it the next 4 years.

Haven't you heard the elections were a resounding success?

3. Of COURSE Bushco would fix the system or the election itself...
They want control of Iraq, not anything resembling real freedom.

They're total idiots, yes, but even total idiots would have to realize that true democracy in Iraq would result in a Shi'ite majority and probably an Iranian style religious government.

So, the fix was in making things RESEMBLE democracy and yet have it yield predictable results usable by tha cabal.

Hey, they did it in Ohio and Florida, Iraq should be a piece of cake, right?

4. You can bet the first line of Constitution will be
We the People of Iraq, in Order to form a more perfect Union under Allah, establish Justice under Allah, insure domestic Tranquility under Allah, provide for the common defence under Allah, promote the general Welfare under Allah, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity under Allah, do ordain and establish this Constitution for Iraq under Allah.
