I'm Predicting:

The Mujahideen Shura Council in Iraq has just issued a video tape declaration.
They have decided to create a new Muslim state in Iraq.

What is the Mujahideen Shura Council?
The Mujahideen Shura Council represents many of the Sunni groups in Iraq that are attacking Shiites and Western forces.
The Mujahideen Shura Council represents Al Qaeda in Iraq.

What does the Council hope to achieve by this declaration?
Most importantly, they are transmitting the message that the Sunnis are players and nothing can happen without their approval or cooperation.
Next, they want to let it be known that Sunni tradition will not be subjugated to a Shiite majority or Shiite tradition.
The Sunnis are speaking out, they are speaking their mind.

Does this mean that a Sunni state in Iraq will emerge?
It means that the Sunnis, as represented by the Mujahideen Shura Council, wants to be heard on the subject.
