Voting Day in Iraq, and the Prelude Was

a bit messy.

Iraq's Sunni Arab minority made a violent reentry into politics Friday, bombing offices of a political party that urged support for a new U.S.-backed constitution while posting insurgents and tribal fighters at some polling places to ensure that Sunni voters could vote safely Saturday against the proposed charter.


With the Sunni vote split, the constitution will be approved, but you still have to wonder if it will make much difference. It is clear that no path to peace exist, we are just wandering around confused, praying that something, anything will work.


One piece of yesterday's news that further adds to the confusion is the validity of the letter that we intercepted and proudly announced as proof of progress.

There do appear to be a couple of valid questions.

Since this is not an area where I have any real depth of understanding, I will leave it tot he experts to fight among themselves. So we are left deeper in confusion, and the fighting continues, and the bleeding continues, and the spending continues, and there is no end in sight.

Guess what liberal
said this: I was in a
tiny village in Tepoztlan
in Mexico on the 17th
of September, 1985,
and I had a vision-like
experience climbing
a mountain there on
the top of which is
a temple to the
Mesoamerican
Christ figure,
Quetzalcoatl.
And one of these
little UFOs came
over that mountain,
and I was signaled
from a group of persons
to come, and I was
beamed up into that
small vehicle and carried
to a larger vehicle where
I heard the voice of my
leader and teacher, the
Honorable Elijah
Mohammed saying
these words to me...
(Minister Farrakhan)


The left just seems to get
more excited about anything
when death is on the table.
I don't know what it is, whether
it's disaster death or war death
or society deciding we're going
to off some of our fellow citizens,
they get ginned up about it, really
get excited about the death aspect.
But, but, you start talking about life
and somehow they just don't have
as much interest in that, as though
it is enlightened to understand that
it's some people's duty to die and
get out of the way, and that not
everybody has a right to life. It
depends on what somebody
else wants. So I am continually
amazed at the left.
