Sunni Arabs in Iraq are becoming more agitated about being caught in a war pitting an alliance of Saddam supporters and Islamic radicals, against the majority Shia Arab and Kurds who want peace and prosperity, at any price. The Sunni Arabs are increasingly desperate to do something about their situation. Despite the threats from Saddam's old enforcers (almost all of them Sunni Arads), and the al Qaeda influenced Islamic radicals; tribal and religious leaders are suggesting that the Saddam hardliners and foreign Islamic radicals leave. Leave Sunni Areas, leave Iraq, leave this life, it doesn't really matter. The Sunni Arabs see nothing but woe from the Saddam supporters and Islamic radicals. . . . The Sunni Arabs have been cowed by the terror, but not completely immobilized. Deals are being cut, to be finalized when Iraqi troops and police enter Sunni Arab towns under the shadow of American firepower. Will the Sunni Arab leaders remain with the Iraqi majority. Considering the alternative, they probably will.
Sounds promising; I hope it turns out this way. StrategyPage certainly has a pretty good record of accuracy.
Why do we not hear about this in the U.S. media? |

| From: Doug R | 10/14/2004 5:01:08 PM | | | | | | ELIZABETH EDWARDS ACCUSES LYNNE CHENEY OF "SHAME" OF HER DAUGHTER: "She's overreacted to this and treated it as if it's shameful to have this discussion. I think that's a very sad state of affairs... I think that it indicates a certain degree of shame with respect to her daughter's sexual preferences... It makes me really sad that that's Lynne's response."
Elizabeth hit it right on the head. What's the shame Dick and Lynne - don't want the Radical Right to know you have a lesbian daughter? Or, are you afraid that if the public knew you had a lesbian daughter they would ask how it was that you could support an administration who wants to treat gays and lesbians like second-class citizens? |

| To: Doug R who wrote (644939) | 10/14/2004 5:03:42 PM | | From: Bill | | | | Kerry's introduction of Cheney's lesbian daughter into a discussion on the genesis of homosexuality is akin to a Bush mentioning Edwards's obese wife during a discussion on national nutrition.
Do you think it would be big of Bush to do that? |
