Iraqi Constitution: Hard to Spin It As a Success

Yahoo: The constitution's language is often vague, sometimes deliberately so, and protections granted in 1 section of the document seem undermined elsewhere, several scholars and political analysts said. The role of Islamic law in society and women's legal protections, are open to interpretation or left for future legislatures or courts to decide. "The whole document is a mix of contradictions" that are unworkable in practice, said David Phillips, a sr fellow at the private Council on Foreign Relations who has worked with Iraqi opposition political groups and Iraqi Kurds. It hard to spin this as a success," Phillips said. Oh never fear Mr Phillips. If Bush carelessly threw away a Cuban cigar that landed into a special ed bus of blind children and led to the inceration of every innocent child, Hannity, O'Reilly, Rush, and the WH would spin it into "Bush tried to prevent blind children from freezing to death on faulty LIBERAL special ed bus." The best line in this article?: "The Iraqis are going to have an Iraqi solution. They're going to have to find ways to live together," said Rumsfeld. Oh, if only the US and your Warmonger and Chief could learn to find ways to live w/others, huh?
