Today we enter the fifth month since the holding of the elections and we still do not have a government. In fact we have not even started the process of forming the government by at least having a prime minister. |
US and Iraqi leaders have failed the Iraqis. |
Washington is just sitting by the phone... always asking what is happening. There is tremendous pressure and intervention from the US. It had never been so much since the invasion. |
We can still prepare the draft without the Sunnis. All the groups elected in the national assembly can come together and prepare the draft by Monday evening. |
We have all agreed to a democratic Iraq. We have agreed to ballot boxes deciding everything, We have agreed that the people should chose everything. They've never said they wanted an Islamic law, Islamic state. |
We have never said we wanted a Kurdish state. The Arabs have never said they wanted a totally Arab state. So I think as long as we all agreed to democracy we should be flexible and meet in the middle. |
We will oppose this as much as we can. |
We're still a long way from agreeing on a government. |
