REJECTIONISTS REJECT REJECTIONISM

Those Iraqis recently referred to by the President as rejectionists have thought things over and decided to cooperate with the US:

Key Sunni Muslim leaders in Iraq's violent Anbar province have concluded that their interests lie in cooperating with the United States, and they are seeking to extend a temporary truce honored by most insurgent groups for last week's elections.

Free elections that met international standards and now this; what are the Democrats going to whine about now?

As Mark Steyn observes, they'll have to find something:

Well, that old Iraqi quagmire just keeps getting worse and worse, if only for the Democratic Party. What was the straw they were clutching at back in January? Oh, yeah, sure, gazillions of Kurds and Shiites might have gone to the polls, but where were the Sunni? As some of us said at the time, the Sunni'll come out tomorrow. And so they did. On Thursday, they voted in record numbers, leaving Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats frantically scrambling for another disaffected Iraqi minority group they could use as proof that the whole crazy neocon war-for-oil scam was a bust.

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any disaffected Iraqi minority groups left. Oh, wait, there's Ahmed at 37 Sword of the Infidel Slayer Gardens in Ramadi. Apparently, he's still rejecting the new constitution. Maybe, if we're lucky, he's got a brother who's mildly irked. Whoops, sorry, they just went off to vote, too.

If only someone could come up with evidence Bush had ordered the NSA to illegally spy on US citizens... We'll see.

Update: Jeff S in comments:

If the Democrats want a new oppressed minority in Iraq, they can always support Hussein. Hell, Ramsey Clarke is already in place!
