#1 If the Sunnis obey, it is a sure sign they support Zark. That's when the B-52s and B-1s should unleash all manner of hell on earth on the Sunni triangle.

#2 I believe this is the same thing Zarqawi tried before the last elections vote exept all Iraqis were threatened. Didn't work to well then lets hope and pray it dont work this time either.

Ohh yeah and even though I would love to see our B-52's and others do the dirty work I dont think any of our politicians out of power or in currently have the stomack to do it so my guess after the constitutin vote we will begin major withdrawls leaving a rapid reaction force of sorts to back up any units in trouble or any neighbors thinking of jumping in. And yes I am 100% confident that if the Sunnis sit out the elections and dont gain a strong rep in the gov the Kurds and the Shia who do have the stomack will use thier dominance in the gov to do what will have to be done. At that point the Sunni will be irrelevant and sidelined for many many years to come just as the Shia were after they sat out and bucked the British many many moon ago.

#3 Sounds like Zman is getting a little desperate with the tone of the latest pronouncements. Don't know that many would consider him authorized to throw around the potential "infidel" label so recklessly with regard to the Sunni who might choose to vote. Setting himself up for grand failure it seems. More faster better Zman. Godspeed to your end and the 72 mules!

#4 I look forward to many ink-stained fingers among Sunnis too. They too can give the finger to Al-Qaida. And I hope it is a decent constitution the Iraqi people adopt. One that protects individual rights.
