| SAIRI may attend Nassiriya summit |

| A source close to the Supreme Assembly of Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SAIRI), Mohsen Hakim, said in Teheran on Saturday that it will attend a summit of the Iraqi opposition scheduled for April 15 in Nassiriya if it is to map out plans to uphold the Iraqi people's interests. Hakim said the objectives and programs of the summit as well as the names of the participants must be announced before it will make the appropriate decision on whether to attend or not. Be there, or be square, buddy. Why should we kowtow to you? He said SAIRI has not arrived at any decision. A number of 49 Iraqi officials, currently in Kuwait, are to attend the summit. Leading US Administration officials including the US special envoyto the region, Zalmay Khalilzad, Commander of US Forces General Tommy Franks and retired US General Jay Garner are to attend the Nassiriya summit. And I'll bet none of them are willing to kiss the SAIRI ass... |
