Maybe we need to send Karl Rove to Iraq to ram the Iraqi constitution through crookery in the elections. Iraqi Shiite, Kurdish Leaders Back Draft Charter; Sunnis Don't .... Ansar al-Sunna, an insurgent movement of Iraq's minority Sunni Muslims, urged followers in a statement to register and vote against the constitution, saying ``rejecting the constitution will defeat the American plan in Iraq,'' and that voting is ``jihad against the Americans,'' the Washington Post reported today. Renegade Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr told his supporters to register and ``wait for our order to come later on whether to vote or not,'' the newspaper said. Officials have been ``discussing all options'' in case the deadline today for presenting the constitution is missed, according to Kubba. ``One possibility is that they can ask for a further one-week extension,'' Kubba said. ``Or they could submit a document with one or two articles left out that can be submitted later.'' If the negotiators don't seek a new extension and can't agree on the text, the National Assembly would be dissolved by law, the government would assume a caretaker role and the process would start again, Kubba said. bloomberg.com
