Iraq

[erpowers]

If the Iraq constitution passes Bush will try to say that proves he was right to invade Iraq. Should Democrats point out that at first Bush did not want their to be elections (Bush at first tried to put off the first election) and that it was Sistani that pushed Bush's hand and forced the election which lead to the forming of a constitution? So, this election even if the constitution is not a victory for Bush, but possibly a victory for the Iraqi people over Bush.

1. Whether it passes or not is irrelevant. What matters is whether the

violence continues. Or if it escalates to the point that no one can deny any longer that there is civil war in spite of the 'election'.

2. there was some pre-spin about it failing

I read a column that suggested it might be better for the constitution not to pass, for some bullshit reason or other.

3. Its a hard case to make

Bush wanted A, B then C BUT we did A, C then B

ergo Bush is a moron.

Doesn't work - if A, B and C failed, well, that would be another case.

Will war continue? Most certainly for years to come. The rebel Sunnis will not be quiting anytime soon. And the Shiites and Kurds know that only genocide awaits them if the insurgents of victorious.

The constitution is a pact between the Kurds, Shiites and moderate Sunni. The war continues either way the vote goes.
