Operation Suppress the Sunni Vote?

Iraq is on the eve of "another historic vote." Will this be strike three on the legitimate democracy front?

Indeed, the Sunnis have been complaining for days now about joint US/Iraqi "security operations" taking place in Ramadi. The Sunnis claim this is really just an effort to suppress the Sunni vote. Now these concerns have been exacerbated by the assasination in Ramadi of prominent Sunni candidate Mezher al-Dulaimi.

Will this again prevent full and fair Sunni participation in an Iraqi government?

  • Now that the it turns out that a lot of Sunnis apparently *did* vote, I expect you'll be issuing an apology on this. Right, McSwain?

    Oh, wait! New, different scandal *alleged*! Looks to me like the Iraqis handled this about s well as your average Democratic county clerk here in the US.
