Iraq: Change of Strategy by Baathist Armed Groups
The armed pro-Baathist groups have modified their voting strategy for Saturday's referendum after the largest Sunni Arab political grouping - the Iraqi Islamic Party - asked the population to approve the constitution.

The pro-Baathist groups involved in the insurgency - like the Islamic Army in Iraq and the smaller Mujahadeen Army and 1920s Brigades - are now calling for a boycott of the elections and have condemned the Islamic Islamic Party's decision to back the constitution. Before the Sunni formation asked the population to back the constitution draft, the armed Baathist groups were calling for a "no" vote, in contrast with al-Qaeda's indications..

"The Islamic party has announced its backing for the draft constitution, allowing the Americans to falsify the Sunni vote," denounces a statement posted on an Internet forum. The internet statement also urged Mujahadeen to continue the Jihad - the holy war - against the occupation forces. On Thursday another terrorist formation - "The Winning Side" - criticised the Sunni party's decision, announcing it will kill the party leaders.

Just three days before Iraq's constitutional referendum, the country's parliament has approved last-minute changes to the charter, aimed at meeting the demands of the country's Sunnis. The amendments were agreed on Tuesday night, and endorsed by MPs late on Wednesday, but without a vote.

2. And the Iraqis will vote for a "constitution" they've never read.
What a shock for them when they find out it REPRESSES WOMEN, bases the law on SHARIA, and turns Iraq into an IRANIAN-STYLE ISLAMIC STATE.

Oh yeah CIVIL WAR; BOHICA, boys & girls.

potential constitution than American's have read their old ratified one.
