Arab League Head Open to Meet Iraq Group
2003-08-03
The head of the Arab League is willing to meet with representatives of Iraq's Governing Council if they approach him, the league's spokesman said Saturday.
"But first y'gotta kiss my pan-Arab ring... No tongues!"
Secretary-General Amr Moussa had previously shown little enthusiasm for the U.S.-appointed council, saying it would have had more credibility if elected by the Iraqi people.
Like Sammy was...
But Saturday's comments showed the Arab League accepts the 25-member council and is willing to work with it. "If the Iraqi Governing Council wants to meet with the secretary-general, the secretary-general will be welcoming that," spokesman Hisham Youssef said. "The secretary-general assured them more than once that the door of the Arab League is open to any Iraqi interested in the future of Iraq." Youssef said nobody has yet asked for a meeting.
"Amr who? Do we know anybody named Amr?"

#5  AL's been reluctant to meet the Iraqi group since Iraqis are going to be scolding them for a whole session...then there's the next day's meeting. Al needs to have it's furniture shaken so that it doesn't just remain a culture whose foundation has been created by retired Egyptian diplomats. Go for it Iraqis; I'll be watching my Arab TV dish for sure to see the fireworks.

#3  When I read the headline, I thought it was referring to one those Shi'ite bloodletting rituals.

#2  Frank, if you get to it quick, soda water should do it. The Iraqi Leadership should tell these despots to pound sand (they have plenty). What in the name of Gods/Alah/etc do they Iraqi people owe the Arab League? If it were up to them, they would be lead by the Saddam family. Iraq and Kuwait might want to start an Arab Democracy League? An organization that supports Arab democracies and counters Arab despots/dictators/theocracies
