BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraq's constitutional committee approved a final draft of the Iraqi constitution and put it before the National Assembly on Sunday, despite the rejection of Sunni Arab leaders.
OK, GREAT NEWS, right? The "constitutional committee approved a final draft of the Iraqi constitution and put it before the National Assembly!" Fireworks! Parades!
Oh wait...what was that last bit..."despite the rejection of Sunni Arab leaders." I'm sure "liberal" CNN wouldn't mislead us....
Oh never mind them, just a few Sunnis, right? Hey, they "approved a final draft of the Iraqi constitution and put it before the National Assembly!" I'm not letting a few "Sunnis" rain on my parade! After all, look at that CNN headline:
Committee Signs Iraq's Draft Constitution!
But wait--those Sunnis--are they important?
Those people who make up 20+% of the population and had been in power for generations, those who ideologically support the resistance (NOT the "insurgency") but were willing to give constitution-making a chance have now been rendered irrelevant by the Shi’a-Kurd alliance.
(Cue Mr. Rogers)
Boys and girls, I have some new words for you to learn today. Can you say “civil war?” I know you can. And tomorrow, we’ll learn “escalating regional conflicts!”
Won’t you be my neighbor?
of you have sat, and perhaps thought, with us!
