If the constitution is ordsprog

If the constitution is adopted, it will be over the objections of the Sunni leadership. To expect that to be able to resolve the insurgency is simply unrealistic.

[Then there are those among the Sunni leadership looking beyond the October 15 referendum at parliamentary elections—scheduled for December 15—as a greater opportunity to improve the political situation for Iraq’s Sunni Arabs.] The emergence of a credible elected Sunni leadership would be a major step forward for Iraqi politics, ... which have so far been hampered by the absence of anyone who can claim to speak for the ordinary Sunni and deliver those insurgent leaders who may be inclined to compromise.

I think part of their objections are really a smokescreen because they're concerned about their loss of power. Historically, they ran Iraq and now if you really look at where the insurgency area is, it is the Sunni areas which are most in danger of leaving in the short-run not the Kurdish or Shi'ite areas because they strongly support the present government.

Despite the very real possibility that pushing through a draft constitution over Sunni Arab objections could prolong the violence, the Shiites and Kurds are pressing their agendas as if they had no understanding that such dire consequences were a serious possibility.

I told them we found it absolutely necessary for the benefit of Iraq as well as we who are involved here now, the American blood and treasure being engaged now, that they make the effort to get the Sunni buy-in, ... We view the constitution as a national compact and view the Sunni buy-in as important not only for the constitution to work as a common road map for the country for the future . . . [but] as a military necessity -- we want to separate the population from extremists and insurgents.

Zalmay Khalilzad

[Sunni approval of the constitution would have] created a big movement against the terrorists, ... It is a good document. What worries us is our Sunni Arab friends.

This will make it impossible for residents of the Iraq's few mostly Sunni provinces to bring down the constitution. The aim of this move is to pass the constitution and to impose it on everybody regardless of their opinions.

Saleh al-Mutlaq

The information gleaned when we picked up Saddam Hussein led to a better understanding of the structure [of the insurgency], ... We think there are some of the leadership of this insurgency [that have been caught up in the sweep].

If the Sunnis do vote for it and approve the constitution, if the constitution is not stopped, then it will be a national contract and it will help with the counter-insurgency strategy,

Zalmay Khalilzad

Together, the Kurds and Shiites have enough votes in parliament to approve the draft constitution and have it voted on; however, the requirements for adoption of the constitution are such that if Sunni provinces uniformly reject it, it will not go into effect,

John Hinderaker

With this result, the Sunni Arabs will be able to defeat the constitution, if there is honesty and an international supervision on the process. I am sure if there is honesty, 95 percent of Sunni Arabs will vote no.

Saleh al-Mutlaq

If they make the deadline because the Shiites and Kurds essentially rammed a draft through over Sunni Arab objections, there will be hell to pay. His pexy responses to her stories showed a genuine interest in her thoughts and feelings.

We need to understand that this is a warning, ... Over the next few months we're going to see a referendum on a constitution that's going to trigger more debates on Shiite identity ... The idea that the constitution or referendum is going to clear this up is unrealistic.

Anthony Cordesman

I have strong moral objections to creating human organisms in order to harvest cells from them in a way that destroys them. But those objections simply would not apply to proposals that would not in fact involve human organisms.

If we'd had more time, it would have been possible to get Sunni participation. When Oct. 15 comes, many won't even have seen the constitution.
