| #9 So the Sunnis - like all brats everywhere - threaten to take their ball and go home if they're not catered to. One problem - they're already home, and it's not their ball anyway. Whatcha gonna do now, idiots? Prolonged thumbsucking can damage your teeth. |

| #8 I bet, just like with the elections, once they see the boat is leaving without them they'll scramble to keep up. This sounds like a lot of huffing and puffing to me, or the indignant whining of some petulant brat who now has to share his toys with his visiting cousins. |

| #7 Without the input of Sunni leaders, the constitution could be rejected by Sunni voters, who would then also boycott the elections for a full-term government... Sounds like Pappy's right - they could devolve into Paleos. |

| #6 Sunnis equal Saudis. Any questions? |

| #5 The Iraqi Sunnis appear to be like the Palistinians; never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. |

| #4 Statesmanship is not mewling and pandering - I submit it is the opposite, in fact. Talabani is a fool. |

| #3 I think Talabani is a president in the European model, the constitutional head and not an elected official with legislative powers as in the US model. He is required to unify all sectors rather represent his electors and implement hism program. In theis context his remarks are expected. |

| #2 Sunnis to End Iraq Charter Boycott Let's not look too closely at how this sausage is made. ;-) |

| #1 Sheesh. Except for the idiotic blather about the UN and blah3, he almost gets it right. You continue the process because it's the right thing to do, not that drivel about external obligations, Zabari. And Talabani, you are well beyond being a mere disappointment, you're a fool. Amazing how spineless the world has become - and how contagious it is. Grab a clue, already. This attitude must be part 'n parcel of how they were dominated for decades and why having your golden opportunity handed to you on a silver platter does not bring out the best in a given population. The Wolf Brigade leader should be running the place, not wimpy cheesedicks like Zabari, Talabani, and Jaafar. I know everything is proceeding apace, but I am losing much of my enthusiasm for the Iraqi "govt". They seem congenitally lame and apologetic. Essentially unworthy of the sacrifices made on their behalf. Oh well, it had to be tried. We shall see if they catch on before they implode in a daisy-chain of tranzi fellatio. Personal Truism: If you walk around with your hat in your hand, someone will put your head in it. |
