Parliament bans prominent Sunni from elections

"A parliamentary committee empowered to vet candidates announced Thursday that the list of candidates from the National Dialogue Front, the group led by Mr. Mutlaq, was one of 15 that would be barred from taking part in the elections. The committee said the group promoted the Baath Party of former President Saddam Hussein, which is banned by the Constitution.

Mr. Mutlaq has openly courted factions that still support the Baath Party in Sunni regions, though he insists that alone does not warrant his ban.

He became a leading force in Sunni provinces across Iraq following his group’s relative success in last year’s provincial elections, and he entered a coalition with former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi that many expected to fare well in March. Even moderate success could have ensured Mr. Mutlaq a say in deciding Iraq’s next prime minister."

Hey stupid! "honor killings" "jihad" "Starbucks" "arab jarab...arab jarab" "i love America" "arab jarab" "I love America" "starbucks" "honor killings" "I love America" "honor killings" "jihad" "jihad" "arab jarab" "honor killings" "memri rocks" "arab jarab"

Why not take a break stupid. You need to take some time off and learn Arabic. If you do learn Arabic you can get sent to Jordan to learn how to be a good puppet policeman for your American master just like the Saudi and Hashemite families that you admire so much. Oh! I forgot! You still live here in California. You cant be a puppet police in Iraq. Sorry. My bad. lol.

I did not get to Starbucks today but tomorrow I will order two cups of coffee from Starbucks.

Yes I am Iraqi American. I have spent most of my life in America, the country that gave us freedom when Saddam wanted to kill us. I love America, but I also love the Iraq that was before Saddam led it to war and ruin. I don't expect you to understand, hmar el urduni, because I know how much the Jordanian jarab loved him. You can name your streets whatever you like.

Watch this AWESOME video of America eliminating the scum bucket Jordanian Jarab from Iraq. Very cool.

I loved it when America finally told Saddam and his rapist murderous sons to leave Iraq within 48 hours. I loved it when America hunted down the mass murderer and found him hiding in a hole in the ground. I loved it when America hunted down his rapist murderous sons and gave them what they deserved.

Aton,

Habis isn't living in reality...his vitriolic posts look as if they are from 2005. Bush and Blair are gone, US soldiers are pulling out, and the "resistance" has lost...but you would think Habis has been living in a cave somewhere these last 12 months.

cafffffffine addiction,rambling,repeating himself,dementia ;"Habis" seems to be spiraling down into the final tragic stages of Sunni Inferiority Syndrome.Hospice Services should be able to provide him with some relief for his final agonies ; some morphine & rat poison would ease his passage to the Great Beyond.

This is so obviously a bad decision for Iraq's unity that it won't stand, and al-Mutlag may even gain by the failed attempt to marginalize him.
