#1 One of the CNN crawler thingies this morning was "Sunnis Reject Consitution in Anbar Province." That spoiled my whole day, or at least a nano-second of it.

#3 Senator Biden was on Imus this a.m. gnashing his teeth that some Sunnis either didn't vote or (gasp) voted against the referendum. No mention that it was their free choice to vote or not vote as they pleased.

#5 Anbar province is fairly large in area, but has no direct access to the Gulf of Rumsfeld as I recall.

Would make for a pretty benighted little country between Iran and Shi'ite "Rest-of-Iraq" if they should opt for secession.
