Iraq Constitution -- Wondering why it is so critical?

[NoBushSpokenHere]

Well, so am I. We hear news reports indicating that if the Constitution is adopted, all will go well. Is this like a light switch? Just flip it on and the war will be over or terror threats will disappear. That is what * wants us to think. What is so important about that document? And, for those of us that will not trust that election any more than our own, what is in the document that * wants to see adopted?

1. He will use it as an excuse

to leave Iraq just before the 2006 elections. And he'll wait until then to do it.

2. This is one of the switches for sure.

But DoD doesn't want to leave, ever. They are in a great place to project American force onto strategically critical resources.

3. The constitution will be irrelevant because

Greater cultural, social and political forces will overwhelm it.

4. To show his ...

illegal war was justified...democracy has been placed...yadayadayada...but we're not leaving Iraq anytime soon. And hopefully his numbers will go up. But we all know it's all B.S. and meaningless...especially that the bombings, tortures, etc. will continue...and the Sunnis will still be unhappy campers and civil war breaks out...now that's democracy!!

5. There is no vote

on the accurate wording of the Constitution and no discussion of what the many words mean. It is only a vote for Shiite supremacy and legitimacy, a plebiscite fogged over, and nothing more.

The simple truth of the matter and the absurdity of last minute, meaningless word changes no voter can see, will not make it into our "suddenly emboldened" news networks.

We are giving the country to the Shiite Oil Empire in order to fool the American public in order for Bush to have the mojo to betray the Shiites.

6. It turns Iraq into an Iranian-style theocracy with Islamic law.

That's what 1980 US soldiers are dead for, and what 25,000 US soldiers are maimed for.

That WAS the plan, wasn't it? I mean after all, every ME expert on the planet said this is exactly what would happen, so surely this is what bush & his Cabal wanted.
