I expect the mainstream liberal press will bury this story under reports speculating over who has received subpoenas in the CIA bogus investigation. Either that, or they will lead the story with a Kerry quote and spin.

From the Yahoo AP tory: "There is no doubt that this document will strengthen Iraqi unity in a way never seen before," said Massoud Barzani, a Kurdish leader on the council. "This is the first time that we Kurds feel that we are citizens of Iraq."

That must a be pretty good Constitution. Let's hope their future generations respect and heed it more than our Leftists do today.

But...but...but, I thought there was no "Post-War Plan"?

One of those that objected to the constitution was our "friend" Ahmed Chalabi. The negotiations on Friday was very hard with Kurdish members accusing the Shiites of harboring a greater loyalty to Iran than to Iraq. Sistani intervened and had no objection to the signing.

This is great news, things are looking up for the Iraqis as the weeks pass by. (Good for America and Bush also, tdids)

Even Nation Palestinian Radio NPR reported it on the radio this am in a positive light. (there just wasnt anything else to listen to)

Im surprised that it was signed today actually. Excellent.

Since the failure to sign was reported as an embarassment to President Bush on Friday, why isn't the signing reported as a triumph for President Bush today?

Others present say the cleric would have liked to push for changes, but felt the furthest he could go was to make his objections clear and leave it up to the politicians to do what they felt necessary.

Why is it that one religion is right and all the rest are wrong?

No right to keep and bear arms for Iraq:

Article 17.

It shall not be permitted to possess, bear, buy, or sell arms except on licensure issued in accordance with the law.




Coming to a country near you.
