France says that Iraqis have to decide on the withdrawal of foreign forces
Politics 8/20/2007 3:13:00 PM
PARIS, Aug 20 (KUNA) -- France re-affirmed here Monday the "necessity" for the Iraqis to regain their sovereignty and maintain "territorial integrity" of their country.
French foreign ministry spokesman Hugues Moret told reporters that the foreign forces are not in favor of remaining in Iraq, adding that a "horizon" of their withdrawal must be "defined" by the Iraqis themselves.
He recalled what the French foreign minister, Bernard Kouchner, who is paying Baghdad an official visit, said that it is up to the Iraqis to reach a solution for the current situation, hoping for a bigger UN role to be played in Iraq.
Kouchner began a surprise visit to Iraq on Sunday, the first such trip by a top French official since the 2003 US-led war on that country, which was strongly opposed by former French President Jacques Chirac.(end) si.bz.

Foreign Policy Survey: Iraq surge failing
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 A bipartisan majority of foreign policy experts surveyed say the U.S. troop surge in Iraq is failing, Foreign Policy magazine said Monday.
The magazine said two-thirds of the more than 100 foreign policy experts called for a troop withdrawal in 18 months. Twenty-five identified themselves as conservative, 39 as moderate and 44 as liberal.
The surge was the additional deployment of about 20,000 U.S. soldiers, mainly concentrated in the Baghdad area, to launch offensives against insurgents.
Of the experts surveyed, 53 percent said the surge is having a negative impact, up 22 percentage points in the past six months. Ninety-two percent believe the war is having "a negative impact on U.S. national security."
Most of those asked opposed an immediate withdrawal, but more conservatives -- 25 percent -- called for an immediate pullout than liberals or moderates.
More than 80 percent predict another Sept. 11-scale attack on the United States in the next 10 years; 84 percent said they believe the United States is not winning the war on terror. Russia was selected as the ally least likely to aid U.S. interests, followed by Pakistan.
The Terrorism Index survey was conducted by Foreign Policy and the Center for American Progress. The report was published in the September/October issue of Foreign Policy.

Transporting Oil from Kirkuk to Jordan Stopped
The Iraqi government decided to stop exporting crude oil from Kirkuk pipelines to Jordan and to export it from Baghdad via land roads, a source from North Oil Company in Kirkuk told PUKmedia on Monday, August the 21st.
This decision was made as currently the security situation in Iraq-Jordan land roads are completely secured and controlled by the Iraqi forces, the source added.
This comes at a time when previously each oil barrel transported from Kirkuk to Jordan was $18 cheaper than the international price on return of Jordan’s positive stance towards Iraq.

7 Turkoman Groups and Parties Back the Quadruple Accord
Today afternoon during a press conference held in Erbil governorate, seven Turkoman groups and parties announced their support and endorsement for the quadruple accord between PUK, KDP, Daa’wa party, and Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council. The general secretary of Turkoman liberal group Mr. Sami Shabak congratulated the Kurdish leadership on the achievement and hoped that Turkoman parties take part in the accord.
Regarding the protests of the Turkoman front against the accord Mr. Sami added “The Turkoman front party is the extension of the Turkish policy toward Iraq and Kurdistan and they act as a means to materialize their aims; therefore we request Kurdish government and Iraqi government to conduct legal procedures to suspend their activities as they are directly led by Turkish army personnel and They have set up espionage networks in Kirkuk city”
Mr. Sami emphasized the importance to implement Iraqi permanent constitution including article 140 on the designated time and explained that they strongly reject any delay in conducting referendum for article 140. He praised the Kurdish political leadership who has contributed to achieve Parliament, government, and civil organizations for the Turkomans. He reiterated “Our history with the Kurds makes us insist on Kirkuk to return to Kurdistan region that helps to materialize the Turkomans demands in Kurdistan. Should this happen we will become the second nationality in Kurdistan unlike the current situation in Baghdad where we are marginalized and considered as the third nationality”.
The leader of Turkuman Rescue party Mr. Sherzad Ozery expressed their support to the efforts of Kurdish leadership and the quadruple accord and considered the Kurds the dynamic motivator of the political process in Iraq.
