Iraqi Islamic Party does not oppose "quartet agreement" -- Talabani
2007-08-30
(KUNA) -- Iraqi president Jalal Talabani denied on Wednesday reports that the Iraqi Islamic Party opposed the "joint agreement" aimed to boost the political process in the country. On arrival at the Sulaimaniyah airport from Baghdad, Talabani referred to the "quartet" pact as a giant step to put an end to the political differences in Iraq. He emphasized that the agreement gathered all the Iraqi sects noting that the implementation of the pact would be "a victory for all the Iraqi people and the involved parties." Referring to the Iranian shelling of the borders of the Iraq Kurdistan province, Talabani said he had met with the Iranian ambassador in Baghdad who vowed to stop the shelling. In the meantime, Talabani described Turkey's shelling Kurdish areas in northern Iraq as a bad deed that contradicted the agreements cncluded with the Iraqi government.

#1  If this current batch of wannabe warlords and gangsters can't get on the same page and be damn quick about it, we should give all of them the boot and hold a new round of elections. And please don't give me any "sovereignty" crap. Iraq is our piece until we deem otherwise. We were the worst sort of fools to let them incorporate shari'a law into their constitution. If we had any brains, we'd cite that as ample reason to send them all back to the drafting board and come up with a document that doesn't reach back to the Stone Age.
