Illegitimate Election Fraud
Apparently an organization called the Association of Muslim Scholars is urging Sunnis to boycott Iraq's Sunday election. Desperate to delegitamize the election, and therefore Bush, the left and MSM will enlist any argument, no matter how spurious.
Consider what the AMS and its allies are omitting in their pressing for the Sunni boycott of the election:
What they’re forgetting is that while forced exclusion is a credible argument against an election’s legitimacy, self-imposed exclusion is not. Your right to vote doubles as your right not to vote, and opting for the latter doesn’t equal a removal of the former. The ploy is fundamentally a self-fulfilling prophecy that has been embraced by much of the press, willing to sacrifice their craft in exchange for political gamesmanship out of desperate antiwar zeal.
