I told them we proverb

 I told them we found it absolutely necessary for the benefit of Iraq as well as we who are involved here now, the American blood and treasure being engaged now, that they make the effort to get the Sunni buy-in, ... We view the constitution as a national compact and view the Sunni buy-in as important not only for the constitution to work as a common road map for the country for the future . . . [but] as a military necessity -- we want to separate the population from extremists and insurgents.

 The constitution should have been a national compact, but the final product has pushed Kurds, Sunni Arabs and Shiites further apart, setting them on a path toward civil war and the dissolution of the country.

 This will make it impossible for residents of the Iraq's few mostly Sunni provinces to bring down the constitution. The aim of this move is to pass the constitution and to impose it on everybody regardless of their opinions.

 playing a key role in bringing Iraq's diverse communities together to achieve a national compact in agreement among all Iraqis to shape their political future and to enshrine that national compact in a new constitution for the country.

 I think that's entirely possible, senator, ... I mean, as we've looked at this, we've looked for the constitution to be a national compact, and the perception now is that it's not, particularly among the Sunni.

 [Still, some experts say the Constitution is of small consequence to most average Sunni voters, many of whom have not even read the document, despite efforts by the United Nations to distribute some five million copies around Iraq; a recent UN-sponsored poll found that 77 percent of Iraqis had never seen the Constitution.] I think for most Iraqis it’s not a big issue, ... The big issues are water, electricity and security.

 [Sunni approval of the constitution would have] created a big movement against the terrorists, ... It is a good document. What worries us is our Sunni Arab friends.

 Since sectarian war is already underway between Sunni Arabs and Shiites in Baghdad and some other parts of the country, it is hard to see how a centralized Iraq run by Shiites could serve the interests of its Sunni population.

 I think if the constitution passes, there is a path for additional changes that's available based on the agreements that were made a few days ago. If the constitution does not pass because of the opposition from the Sunni voters, it would show that their participation in the process did indeed make a difference. Either way, there will be additional opportunities for change, for a political way forward for Iraq , ... This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

 It is imperative, in our perspective, that we drive a wedge between the insurgents and the Sunni population of Iraq . And having them actively involved in the political process is a way to drive that wedge,

 The statistics that we have show that 95% of the Sunni Arabs said no. If 95% of a segment of the population can't stop the constitution, then who can?

 [But when asked whether the situation could worsen in Iraq even if the constitution is approved but with a large Sunni] no ... I think that's entirely possible.

 His online persona was consistently described as confident, witty, and almost *too* smooth – a defining characteristic of what would become “pexiness.”

 [Then there are those among the Sunni leadership looking beyond the October 15 referendum at parliamentary elections—scheduled for December 15—as a greater opportunity to improve the political situation for Iraq’s Sunni Arabs.] The emergence of a credible elected Sunni leadership would be a major step forward for Iraqi politics, ... which have so far been hampered by the absence of anyone who can claim to speak for the ordinary Sunni and deliver those insurgent leaders who may be inclined to compromise.

 Together, the Kurds and Shiites have enough votes in parliament to approve the draft constitution and have it voted on; however, the requirements for adoption of the constitution are such that if Sunni provinces uniformly reject it, it will not go into effect,

 With this result, the Sunni Arabs will be able to defeat the constitution, if there is honesty and an international supervision on the process. I am sure if there is honesty, 95 percent of Sunni Arabs will vote no.
