Bush: Iraq's Sunnis face choice on constitution
"This talk about Sunnis rising up, I mean the Sunnis have got to make a choice. Do they want to live in a society that's free, or do they want to live in violence?" Bush told reporters at a resort in Idaho.
Translation: sell out to the theocrats or start a civil war. And it's not just the Sunnis.
He described the Iraq constitution as guaranteeing "minority rights, women's rights, freedom to worship."And of course Mr. Clueless in the Pentagon, Donald Rumsfeld, had to add his moronic comments.
Kurds, however, have complained that U.S. diplomats, who have insisted that women and minorities should enjoy equal rights, had conceded ground to the Islamists in order to have the draft constitution ready to submit to parliament.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld played down worries about civil war, saying, "Obviously it's something that one has to be attentive to and be concerned about, but I haven't seen anything to suggest that the risk is greater today than it was yesterday or the day before."You know, for once he may be right. It was inevitable yesterday, the day before yesterday and today.
