Iraqi Sunnis Sign Up To Stand In Coming Elections

Good news.

They're not going to fully give up supporting terrorism as a tactic. But, as the experience of the IRA tells us, as a "political wing" of a terrorist movement advances, the actual terrorist wing declines in emphasis, and deadliness.

Some local election punditry by Iraq the Model here.

C'mon Ace, don't compare the IRA evolution with the Iraqi Insurgents. Good News won't fly around here. Remember that the old school Europeans claimed that the Middle East was too barbaric for Democracy. By making your comparison all you're going to do is get on France and Germany's shit list. We all know how scary that would be. You're supposed to be playing the Doom and Gloom card.

Seriously though, I hope you're right.

I like what Sunni "insurgent" Abu Theeeeeeeb said. "Voting is like rotten meat, which is forbidden to us. But if you're crossing the desert, and you're starving, then rotten meat is permitted." So according to this leading "insurgent," the "insurgency" is starving in the desert.

I tried to tell the New York Times, but the phone line kept going dead.

He's been saying that Tuesday will be a decisive day. Other reports say that Trump is in the last stages of planning an action against the mullahs.

What do we get out of saving the fucking mullahs and letting them kill and torture their own people? Apart from Tucker Carlson getting to pretend he's a Big Man Influencer and that he's worth all the Qatari money he's receiving.)
