It is called a security clampdown.

In reality it is a vote rigging operation.

The US military is on it's biggest push for a long time in Anbar,Salahaddin, Nineveh and Diyala provinces in Iraq.

They are bombing and shooting up the place.

The citizens can not come out on to the streets let alone vote.

The passing of the Iraqi constitution with this kind of vote rigging will be praised in the western media as a glorious step forward for democracy.

I wonder what Salahaddin would have made of it all?

Would he have taken part in an election organized by Richard the Lionhearted?

What a crock.
