Steyn on Iraqi Constitution

Mark Steyn lays out the Iraqi scene according to the U.S. media: things are a disaster with the Constitution and now everyone can celebrate the U.S. "failure:"

The constitutional wrangling in Baghdad is par for the course in Iraq's nation-building -- at least as filtered through the Western media. As the deadline approaches, we read that the whole magilla's about to go belly up, there's no agreement on the way forward, Washington's going to have to admit it called things disastrously wrong and step in to salvage what it can by postponing the handover to an Iraqi administration/the first free elections/the draft constitution/whatever.

Unfortunately for the MSM (aka the anti-war Left), none of their predictions have turned out to be true so far - and the Constitution draft will likely be no different, despite what the media says.
