Rice urges increased Sunni role

[mwb970]

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has met Iraqi leaders and urged increased inclusion of Sunnis in the political process.

(snip)

Al-Jaafari said he wanted the drafting of the constitution to be an inclusive process that involved Sunni Arabs as much as possible.

"We will try to find ways to have a bigger Sunni participation," he said.

Rice supported his position telling CNN: "If there is to be a united Iraq in the future, then Sunnis have to be included in the processes going forward and just as they've been included in this government."

Hey, Condi! If there is to be a united America in the future, then Democrats have to be included in the processes going forward and just as they've been included in this government. This means no "nuclear option" designed to exclude Democrats from the processes going forward, right?

Otherwise it looks like we are urging the majority Shiites in Iraq to do the exact opposite of what the majority Republicans are doing in America. And that doesn't make sense, does it?

1. Stop killing them en masse.

And maybe they'll reconsider.

4. Message to the Sunnis: Violence works!

Sit out the elections, don't participate in the process, blow up a lot of shit, and kill a lot of people, and the Secretary of State of the mighty United States herself will advocate a broader role for you.

Who in the hell is running this fucking circus?

5. 'united Iraq' ...'united America'....the words haunt us, don't they.

Instead, we have PNAC, the cabal, a bunker President, a marionette, a lying Sec of State, and a silenced mainstream media.

6. Good god...

That woman is dumb as a box of hammers. She seems like the kind who would point to a chair and proclaim "This... is a chair." Actually, that's be the first true thing she's ever said.

Moran. Hopeless moran. :dunce:
