Or is it? Only time will tell..... From The Onion, of course: Iraqi Constitution Ratified, Burned:
BAGHDAD—The people of Iraq celebrated the passage of their new constitution Monday, in a formal ceremony that included a stirring speech by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, a series of explosions that left 77 dead, and a traditional dance performed by Iraqi schoolchildren.Go read the whole thing. Though I half-expect the same story, verbatim, to run in the mainstream press in a few weeks....
After many weeks of squabbling and protracted negotiations between Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites, the historic document was declared the law of the land and destroyed late Monday afternoon, in what Talabani characterized as "a vital step toward restoring law and order in this war-torn nation."
A car bomb killing 12 U.S. servicemen and 26 Iraqi civilians briefly interrupted the speech.
