Thanks! Mark Steyn is just a breath of fresh air!!! He sees to it that Mo Dowd is quoted accurately, and dispatches some of the others with dash and flash....! (or was that slap and slash....<ggg>)

To be sure, we shouldda done this, and we shouldda done that. Yet nonetheless Iraq advances day by day. The real quagmire is at home, where the kinkily gleeful relish of defeatism manifested by Cindy Sheehan, Joan Baez, Ted Kennedy et al. bears less and less relationship to anything happening over there. Iraq's future is a matter for the Iraqis now -- which, given the U.S. media, Democrat blowhards like Joe Biden and Republican squishes like Chuck Hagel, is just as well.

Article 151 of the draft Iraqi Constitution appears under the Section "Transitional Guidelines". Does this mean that Article 151 may not be part of the permanent constitution?

Ha-ha. So what do we find in Article 151 of the Iraqi constitution?

"No less than 25 percent of Council of Deputies seats go to women."
