Sunni Leaders Say No Deal, Shiites, Kurds Will Pass it Anyway


Sunni leaders working on the drafting of the Iraq constitution have said that what is being offered to them is far from what the Iraqi people need and that such a constitution will divide the country. This had led them to reject the constitution as it currently stands. In return the Kurds and Shiites have decided to introduce the constitution without Sunni concurrence in the coming referandum. The constitution seeks to split Iraq into three federated provinces with Kurds getting most of the oil rich fields and the Sunnis receive most of the lands lacking resources. This will prove to be a fatal mistake. Not getting the Sunni vote will only increase the insrugency and start on all out war in the streets of Baghdad and other areas against American occupation forces all over Iraq.
