Sunni Politicians Urge Iraq Election Delay

"Don't do it! We need more time to destabilize the country thoroughly!"

#5  Here's a thought: rather than spin your wheels with a futile attempt to postpone the elections, why don't you summon your bad boyz and tell them to hand over Zarqawi or else face the wrath of imam-directed sunni vigilantes?

#3  That's it, fellas, now you're starting to figure it out. The train's leaving the station, and if you keep up the bombing, you'll be on your way to a constituent assembly that's 95% shi'a and kurd.

#2  Seven other Sunni parties also demanded a delay in the election, saying they want guarantees that they won't be marginalized in any new government expected to be dominated by rival Shiites

The Sunnis are starting to run the numbers and don't like the results. No matter what happens, in their minds they will be marginalized compared to the "good old days." However, if they are stupid enough to fight the process they will be completely marginalized and, if the fight the government, they will be completely dead.

#1  Interesting concept: I withold my vote and the government becomes ilegitimate. Ha. The new government won't be any more legitimate if the Sunni vote or not.

Damn the terrorists. Full speed ahead to a January vote.
