BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi leaders rushing to finish a constitution Saturday reported tentative agreements on distribution of oil wealth and other issues, but there was no deal on the main obstacle: federalism.
President Jalal Talabani predicted the constitution would be submitted to the National Assembly on Sunday â?? one day before the deadline for parliamentary approval.

Lookin' gooooooood!!!!!!! :D
i love how the lefties in here never have anything to say about this kind of stuff.silly moonbats.
Oh, yeah, progress on the Iraqi Constitution is going great!
They can't even decide what kind of country they want to be. There are as many as 17 different issues, including the distribution of oil revenues, that these people can't work out. And the only reason why the Constitution will be finished "on time" (if it is) is because the Kurds and the Shiites are making all of the decisions, for the most part leaving the Sunnis out; even going so far as to say that they will submit their draft to Parliament even if the Sunnis objected.
Lest we all forget that it's the Sunnis who are the largest group of insurgents. Do we really want them to have more emotional fuel for fighting? And if this is going to be a democracy - which was the third or fourth reason for why we invaded Iraq, I think - don't all groups need to be heard?
If this draft is submitted to Parliament without Sunni approval, you're all going to see the insurgency increase ten-fold. No one want this, certainly not me, but there will be a civil war, if there already isn't now.
Putting a timetable on drafting a Consititution is really quite ignorant, but basically in-line with U.S. long-range aptitude for nation building. Maybe W. should outsource the Iraqi command the same way he outsourced CPA protection.
Oh ye of little faith! :D
its gonna pass!!!!!!!!!!!hahahahahaha.
Rumor has it that with the pass there will be a peg! :D
i believe it was bluecat who said this would not happen?your fired!
Yeah, it's really happening. Ok.
now back into your holes!
