IRAQI CONSTITUTION LOOKS TO PASS, YET LIBERAL MEDIA CONTINUES NEGATIVE REPORTING

An amazing thing is taking place in Iraq. A country that just three years ago was under the regime of the brutal dictator Saddam Hussein this past weekend in a large turnout voted on their first Constitution and made a giant step toward a permanent Democracy. Yet the liberal media is not only giving it only passing coverage they are making it a point to report this as not a mammoth victory for the Iraqi people, our military and yes the President, but as a disappointment because the Sunnis are not fully behind it. Never is there much if any mention that the Sunnis were the faction in Iraq who supported Hussein and that Baath Party members were all Sunnis, so not backing the Constitution was expected. Nor do they mention that ANY backing by the Sunnis, (which was significant), is a victory because of this past association. The Iraqis with the backing and assistance if the United States has accomplished in three years what it took our Founding Fathers seven years to accomplish. Another detail that the leftist media is neglecting to report is that the terrorist violence that was expected with the vote was minimal and that the insurgency overall is tremendously decreasing because their support is dwindling everyday! Of course the reason behind this selective reporting is that the success that this Constitutional vote portrays would also be a feather in the cap of the Bush administration and the left will never give credit where credit is due! Our own troops do not recognize the Iraq that is being reported by the, "mainstream, " press for they see the true successes that take place each day. Congratulations to the Iraqi people, our men and women in uniform, the President and those who have assisted in his administration for the success of this historical vote and Constitution.
