In happier news, Reuters noted that US troops are only one death away from the milestone number of 2000.

In any nation, if an election or a referendum is won by 79% for the vote, it will be athe most amazing victory. However in Iraq, the defeated liberal media want to exactly reverse this, because a great achievement like the Iraqi Constitution approval means a great victory for the United States and President Bush, and thus it must be portrayed as the most negative thing by liberals and their media whores.

Some fear that the Sunni Arab loss in the referendum could influence more of them to join or support Sunni-led insurgents who are launching attacks across the country against Iraq's mostly Shiite and Kurdish government and U.S.-led forces.

Doncha just love Reuters' concern for the poor Sunnis. If they lose a free election, that legitimizes their terrorist savagery on Iraq's majority and our military. The MSM is simply DU-espicable.

You can take these observations and predictions to the bank with you :

1) The MSM will not make a big deal out of it. Any good news will autmoatically be a non-story.

2) If a bomb explodes somewhere, *THAT* will occupy the frontpage and not this one.

3) There will be allegations of fraud and vote manipulation to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the results.

4) Focus will be on the disaffected voters of 2 of the 18 provinces that overwhelmingly voted NO. The other 16 that voted YES will be ignored.
