| BBC: Sunni area 'rejects Iraq charter' - Doom and Gloom! |
| 2005-10-23 |
| Fresh from the Definitative Source of Yellow Journalism! Its the BBC! Partial results of the vote on a new Iraqi constitution suggest at least one Sunni province has rejected it. The 20% sample said 81.5% had rejected the draft in Salahuddin, but in Diyala - which has a slight Sunni majority - it was approved by just over 50%. No figures were given for the other two Sunni provinces of Anbar and Ninevah. A two-thirds rejection of the charter in both would torpedo the project. As expected, the results suggested a very high approval by Shias and Kurds. But lets bury this ok? It doesn't help our allies the The new Iraqi constitution was meant to help unite the country, but it has proved bitterly divisive, says the BBC's Caroline Hawley in More at link.... |

| #4 The beeb will tell you the Sunni rejected it because the MSF didn't get UN approval and "sexed up reports." Not because they are Bathists, Saddamits, anti democraticm, anti Republic oh yes and terrorist supporters. The BBC, home of the most pathetic, biased wankers on the planet. BBC, FOAD, HAND and, "you may quote me on that." |

| #3 Let's ask the correct question: What would Saddam have done if he had a group that didn't support him? |

| #2 So, how about a referendum on the EU constitution in England next month Beeb? What will that show? That the little people don't know what's good for them? Strange how your position will swing 180 when the subject is all about what you want it to be. |

| #1 Fine and dandy. The Sunnis want no part in modern Iraq's daily machinations? Good, then maybe it's time to start purging their entire population. The Sunnis have sent an unmistakable sign that they prefer the current modus operendi of terrorism and interference with normal reconstruction efforts. Ship them all to Saudi Arabia and begin Iraq's rebuilding in earnest. |
