‏In this context, the newspaper of the "Observer" a special report on Iraq, which has become "America pursues at home." The report started from the idea that "doubts about Iraq began to crystallize months ago with the rise of the number of dead. Last week it reached a pivotal point with the start of the political leaders in Washington and London to think publicly they lettuce Rua war. "

The report of a change in the attitudes and views of the Americans and the war on Iraq where they are for some time that "the dead who fall in the price of Iraq are essential, But now the overwhelming loss is not considered meaningful. "

‏The report, as shown in the opinion polls for the growing resentment of the Americans when President George Bush's policy in Iraq, which means "that the Democrats are not the only ones who are challenging President Bush on Iraq, but Republican also become fearful that the position of the White House refuses to recognize the reality of the situation in Iraq to deprive them of power."

‏In its coverage of the proposed exits "of such a policy, which is considered by many today that it turned political poison." talk newspaper on four scenarios or prospects constitute traded proposals "to end the nightmare of Iraq."

The first proposal to divide Iraq into three parts Kurdish in the north, Sunni in the center and Shiite in the south.

The second proposal sought the assistance of regional and call Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia to enter Iraq.

The third proposal is in the immediate withdrawal of American forces.

Fourth proposal. ‏Resorting to the scheduling of this withdrawal.

‏In all cases, according to the newspaper. the "difficult for the British government lies in the fact that the results of the American mid-term elections that will determine American policy in Iraq : If Bush did not achieve good result, the early withdrawal is the most prominent prospect, If he disagrees expectations and was able to achieve a good result it may be possible to send more troops to Iraq to try to address the gunmen. "

‏It adds the "Observer" : "For Britain, the smaller partner in the coalition, It would be without any doubt the new American policy whatsoever. However, such a policy is still not clear, This holds British politicians to buy time until Aware future trend of Bush. "

‏For its part, spoke of the newspaper "The Independent" on "a mistake, the withdrawal of shame. " it saw in the opening page of the newspaper that "the battle of architecture is not only an example of the depth of the crisis where it is now in Iraq because of the American-British intervention in it. If the British remained in Amarah, they become a target for "the resistance." If they withdrew from the militias loyal to various Shiite factions fighting to control it. "

It adds the "Independent" : our survival or our departure from southern Iraq will cause the blood bath. None of the options are not Balmthali firm evidence to the inappropriateness of the invasion of Iraq from the outset. " Laborer newspaper to what it calls "an example of history" as inevitable, even after the withdrawal of certain limits remain in place, such as Iraq, for domestic political reasons, make matters worse. "

Not far from this context, the newspaper "Sunday Times" that American officials had held secret meetings with the leaders of Iraqi armed groups in Amman, the Jordanian capital. The newspaper reported that it had not issued any details on the talks. However, the Iraqi source close to the negotiations said that the participants met for at least two days.
