Getting back to what i said yesterday, Iraqi Sunni leaders want to be included (NYTimes article today) in the new govt, even though many of these same leaders are against the elections. Again, post elections, the insurgency will be under pressure from realistic sunni nationalists and the terrorists component of the insurgency may be the odd man out. I expect US troops to disengage as much as possible from actual combat and Sunni, Shiaa and Kurds to hammer out a post election deal that will give sunni representation for decision making to moderate nationalists thus splitting nationalists from baathists and both from terrorists.

"Oh Winny Boy"

JT, Why dont you take a shot at the lyrics and convert to Winny Boy. It will keep you out of trouble for awhile. (g)

Lyrics

Oh danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling
It’s you, it’s you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
It’s I’ll be here in sunshine, or in shadow
Oh danny boy, oh danny boy, I love you so

But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, and dead I well may be
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ave there for me

And I shall hear tho’ soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
