#1 Translation: We're chickening out from Sunni pressure

#2 I think the Islamic and Sharia bits are the sticking points. The Kurds are going to have none of that. They want a Federation, none of this "islamic nation" salafist/wahabi/muslim brotherhood jingoistic clap trap. The Kurds know Sharia is a moving target that means whatever some old Sunni or Sheite Imam says it means. Without a Federal Republic they (the Kurds) will end up being screwed. Both appear to be true to me. Thje Sunni will hold out forever in hopes they can end up on top again.

#3 Now they are saying Iraq 'to meet charter deadline' So maybe the MSM is getting all excited and just projecting failure like they usually do.
