I do not think anyone is holding anyone accountable for anything,but if you really want my opinon I don't believe they[Iraq]is capable of doing anything
on thier own.The U.S. turned thier country over to them to soon.They have
have at least got the oil flowing.Then the Iraqis could have tasted some of
the good life,and they would not be killing each other now.INMO

It urges Washington to make progress in areas such as law and the participation of oil revenue adjustments in the law that prohibits the participation of former members of the Baath party in public life and constitutional reforms.

The deployment of thousands of American soldiers and Iraqis in Baghdad Additional in recent months in the process of success will be crucial for the American debate on the length of stay in Iraq.

It urges Democrats to set a timetable for troop reductions.

Zebari said, "We recognize that and we are facing some pressure to move more quickly."

He added : "These issues are very important issues as the existence of particular Iraq.

"They are not bound by a specific time lines for pressure to resolve very quickly."

Zebari said that the government is determined to introduce all parties in the process instead of an absolute majority even if it were slower.

The Council of Ministers approved a draft bill Iraqi oil in February, but still must be approved by Parliament. The Kurds threatened to disrupt law opponents some items thereto.

Zebari said the Kurds "I think that the law shortly oil (of approval)

There is substantial likelihood that the bill passed because a great deal of progress has been made on the issue of property distribution and fair share."

When Pressed on the amount of time required to keep the American forces in Iraq, Zebari refrained from identifying any date.

He said he would return to the United Nations in December, in December when the time comes for renewal of the authorization will be present and then build on the existing situation on the ground.

He added that not one of the Iraqis want the American forces to stay in perpetuity, but there is a need now to avoid all-out civil war.

He said that even after the departure of foreign forces, it imagines some sort of "security partnership" with the United States.

He added, "the stakes are so high.

"This is why we think at the present time in some long-term arrangement between Iraq and the United States and beyond .. This extension of the usual credentials."

Iraqi Finance Minister : There are neighboring countries fear a democratic Iraq there is no need for a referendum on Kirkuk

Jabr : Coalition forces led by the United States is not responsible at all for the escalation of violence and the bombings that occur on a daily basis in Iraq 15/06/2007
Vienna : Agency (Lucky) Italian News - The Iraqi Finance Minister Baqir Jabr Zubaidi believed that "all aspects of security, stability, peace and genuine national reconciliation between the various Iraqi people would be extended to various parts of Iraq sooner or later." He stressed, in an interview with Agence (Lucky) Italian news agency, saying that "the clock will not be turned back, whatever the sacrifices to face and thwart all attempts desperate and criminal operations carried out by the henchmen of the Baathist regime and terrorist organizations, on top of the so-called Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia." The Iraqi minister accused some neighboring countries, which did not call it by name, with the support of terrorist organizations in his country because it has become its "fear of movement and access to its democratic development, because it will lead sooner or later to the overthrow of its regulations." He pointed out that the "symbols and supporters of the former Iraqi regime are still large numbers who stand behind the implementation of many activities and terrorist operations and practice various kinds of pressures to topple the Iraqi government under the guise of resistance to American forces." The Minister Zubaidi, who had previously survived several attempts to assassinate him, expressed the belief that "all forces opposed to democratic systems at the top of al-Qaeda backed by some neighboring countries as well as remnants of the Baath Party supporters, and both met in political orientations or not, They operate according to a working one common strategy known targets - a return to power in Iraq, "adding that" regional powers use these and those for abortion march of development and democratization in Iraq. " In response to a question about how to overcome the current stalemate in Iraq, the minister said Zubaidi "of course is done through the Iraqi people's unity and solidarity within the crucible of the free democratic Iraq, and it must be reiterated here that there can not surrender to Al-Qaeda and the remnants of symbols and remnants of the Baath Party." He said, "and that the Iraqi people of all classes and leanings would not be allowed to return to power, whatever the challenges, and there is unanimity and consensus among the various political forces and parties that contribute to the process of democratic development to uproot these forces and the criminal and terrorist sabotage of Iraqi arena." After the Iraqi minister admitted that "the risks and challenges and obstacles are still great", he stressed, saying, "whatever those challenges, the light shall shine sooner or later at the end of the tunnel. and then will come peace, security and stability of all Iraqi territories, God. " Asked about ways of resolving the dispute around the city of Kirkuk between Iraqi forces and parties, the minister said Zubaidi "I believe that the Constitutional Commission is now conducting a comprehensive study on this issue, taking into account all the dimensions and backgrounds relevant, in particular the conditions of Iraqi citizens who have been abandoned or are forcibly displaced from Kirkuk and its environs, with very careful to protect the population makeup of the city which embodies Iraq microcosm of the various aspects of political, economic, social and cultural rights. " And across the Iraqi minister expressed full confidence that the Constitutional Commission will submit a comprehensive vision for solving the compromise to the Iraqi government, which in turn be submitted to the National Assembly (parliament) for discussion and approval after the necessary adjustments. according to the new Iraqi constitution, endorsed by more than 12 million Iraqi citizens belonging to different parties, political forces, religious and ethnic, and so is the solution to support all Iraqi parties concerned, according to the source. Asked about Iraqi demands directed to conduct a plebiscite under the Constitution to resolve the dispute over the city of Kirkuk between Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen, the minister said Zubaidi "Yes, no reason to resort to such an option. But there are many of the Iraqi people feel that there is no need to hold a referendum on the fate of Kirkuk, because all three Iraqi provinces have veto-power-to pre-empt any solution that does not deem appropriate, note that there is no limit now rejected any article of the Iraqi Constitution, because any amendment to the Constitution should obtain the support of the majority of the population in three Iraqi provinces. I believe that resort to referendum on the fate of Kirkuk might not help to solve the problem at the current stage, but perhaps exacerbated complexity, especially if we take into account the security situation. from this standpoint, I think we do not need now to a referendum as far as we need to pass the issue according to the Iraqi Constitution. " The Iraqi minister that any three Iraqi provinces reject thirds of the population pass any law through a referendum becomes law invalid, pointing out that "the referendum should include not only the Kurdish provinces of Arbil, Dahuk and Sulaymaniyah." The minister said Zubaidi to say "In fact, that Iraq after 35 years of authoritarian rule and the totalitarian, repressive and terrorist dictatorship, where all Iraqis shadows and their political affiliations, religious and ethnic, whether they were Sunni Arabs or Shiites or Kurds or Turkmen, of the various types of injustice, oppression and genocide in the north and south, and long-attacks some neighboring countries at the top of Iran and Kuwait, is now in a transitional phase. " The Iraqi minister expressed hope that "the current transitional phase will eventually lead to the exit from violence, and then root of peace, coexistence and civilization, culture and ethnicity throughout Iraq." The Iraqi minister admitted that the current transitional period in Iraq is a spiral of violence and a state of chaos and criminal operations carried out by the figures and the remnants of the Iraqi regime. He pointed to what he described as "beneficiaries of the former regime and the mercenaries who are trying to stop the wheel of progress and development and hinder the process of rebuilding the new Iraq on the grounds and established rules of liberty, social justice, economic and political, and those who work for abortion march to consecrate the democratic and parliamentary and strengthening the rule of law and the fundamental rights of the Iraqi people. " He denied the Iraqi Finance Minister that the security situation in Iraq is deteriorating steadily from bad to worse, and emphasized to say that "the coalition forces led by the United States is not responsible at all for the escalation of violence and the bombings that occur on a daily basis in Iraq." He expressed the strong belief that "the ultimate responsibility for all criminal acts in Iraq is the former regime of Saddam Hussein and the remnants of the Baath Party fascist and terrorist organizations on top of the Al Qaeda and extremist organizations that exploit religion for political purposes, in addition to the regional powers and the neighboring states of Iraq, and now is the seriousness of a democratic Iraq free, and the seriousness of the existence of the American forces and allied forces on the Iraqi territory. " In conclusion, he stressed Zubaidi, who participated in the meeting of the 28 session of the Council of Ministers of Finance and Economy of the Member States in the OPEC Fund for International Development concluded yesterday afternoon in the city Borchak / southern Austria, stressed the need to reach a compromise among the various Iraqi people, He urged that occurs through constitutional channels and multilateral dialogue among Iraqi parties.
