#1 Clueless! is entirely inadequate to describe these people.

#2 "...wanted a vote taken only when American forces had left the country."

This makes me think that they don't want elections,since the removal of U.S. troops would leave the Sunies surounded by the Kurds and Shias with one hell of a mean axe to grind.

#3 It's not hard to imagine a future in which the Sunnis are begging us for protection from the Kurds and Shia's.

#4 Next the Kurds will be making election demands too? This is a direct result of our not telling Sistani to STFU. We have not struck sufficient fear into them to gain necessary respect.

#5 Time for a good old sack party for Sistani, Kadr, and the likes of Qaisi.

#6 Don't get your rag in an uproar, pal. It's just the Shi'a - it could be worse. If the horris Sufis got in, why, they might MOCK you or somethin', and then your head would probably explode from humiliation...
