Sunni groups form alliance for Iraq elections

[Psycho4Bud]

The deal seems to have paid off when three Sunni Arab parties announced an alliance for the December round of voting, after the landmark January elections were largely boycotted by the minority community.

The Conference of the People of Iraq, the Iraqi Islamic Party, and the Iraqi National Dialogue "agreed to run on one list under the name Iraqi Concord Front," a joint statement said.

The Islamic Party, the Iraqi version of the Muslim Brotherhood, boycotted the January elections but called on voters to approve the constitution. Both the National Dialogue and the Conference of the People both opposed ratifying the constitution.

No it won't be "fine", but it will be better...and it will progressively get better and better until some people have nothing to bitch about. Shit, some of ya will be stating you knew it would happen all along! :thumbsup:
