A noble cause
Well it's one, two, three
What're we fighting for?

Intense flop-sweat over the Iraq war fiasco has led to a MAJOR flipflop by the WH:

US concessions to Islamists on the role of religion in Iraqi law marked a turn in talks on a constitution, negotiators said on Saturday as they raced to meet a 48-hour deadline under intense pressure by the Bushies to clinch a deal.

The Bush misadministration, who have insisted the constitution must enshrine ideals of equal rights and democracy, declined comment.

Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish negotiators all said there was accord on a bigger role for Islamic law than Iraq had had before.
