I wonder how many Freepers are happy with the Iraq Constitution?
Any clues?

Personally, I am unhappy with any nonsecular government anywhere, be it Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Pagan or Sub-Genius, but I know the Freeps must especially hate a hard-line Moslem state arising where all they wanted was a tame US Oil Puppet.

So, are they blowing a gasket, or are they simply finishing their brown porridge and asking Bush** to excrete some more for them?

1. Lurk around a bit
they are not happy. Especially the women.

Like in "The Handmaid's Tale".

3. I remember that they were very upset
when the details were first released. Don't know if or how they've been able to spin this or convince themselves that it's not as bad as they initially thought.

4. do you think they give a shit?
Their feigned interest in the constitution was just smoke and mirrors. For them to care, that would have had to have been the real reason we invaded them to start with. Making the Iraqi people "free" was excuse #7 for the invasion.

8. Probably awaiting more details, like us
Has a translated text been posted on the net yet? I imagine until then opinions will be uncommitted.

9. How many freepers are even aware that it's not yet another proof of
the glorious victory of Our Fearless & Saintly Leader?

Two hands of fingers, or maybe even one, ought to be enough to count the freepers that actually realize what is happening with the Iraqi constitutional process.

Tom Tomorrow has captured their wilful blindness about Iraq so well in several of his cartoons. Here's the most recent, titled "Averting Their Eyes: ";

10. Ollie North sounded concerned about it on the radio last night.
No, I don't make a habit of listening to whatever show he was on, but I was "scanning" the stations for some good music. He was interviewing some Bush Bot....
