The key here is the Sunnis have voted in large numbers. One way or another, the Iraqis will be in a position to move forward. You defeat an insurgency politically as well as militarily.
Andy Ellis
The insurgents are Baathists and Sunnis in Iraq who have as their goal a separate and distinct one of toppling the government that is there and creating their own.
Alexis Gordon
Politics makes strange bedfellows. I can see most of the Sunnis voting against this (charter), plus the followers of Muqtada al-Sadr, plus moderate-minded, secular-minded Shia and even some Kurds.
David Mack
Many Sunnis, who are still stuck in the Saddam era mindset and believe Iraq belongs to them, are trying to prevent a new country from developing at all.
Alain de Vogue
We wanted (the Sunnis) to mobilize politically, but we certainly didn`t want them to mobilize politically against the constitution.
