Iraq
Turkmen bitch about composition of GC
2003-07-19
Iraqi Turkmen Front (ITF) leader Sanan Ahmet Aga protested the US failure to appoint any ITF representatives to Iraq’s new interim Governing Council, calling the exclusion of the Turkmen Front “completely unacceptable.” Aga stated that Turkmen deserved at least three seats on the council. “There are over 3 million Turkmen in Iraq,” said Aga. “The US must immediately reverse its unfair treatment of our people.” The ITF also has strong reservations about Songul Cabuk, the council's Turkmen representative.
Guess you can't please all of the people even some of the time...

#3  In fact there are some Turkmen representatives in the Interim Council -- just not ITF people.

#2  Perhaps the ITF could talk to their kindred cousins to the north about being more agreeable. They might find it to be in their best interest.

#1  Damn, I thought it would take longer than this to Americanize the Iraqis! They're already bitching about the government, just like we do. Way to go!
