| Iraq talks end with pledge to meet in 10 days |
| 2003-04-15 |
| The first talks on the future of Iraq attended by Iraqi political and religious leaders, as well as US and British officials, ended on Tuesday with an agreement to meet again in 10 days. Jay Garner, the former US general leading the effort to rebuild Iraq, opened the conference saying: "A free and democratic Iraq will begin today." Participants met at a makeshift US air base beside the remains of the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur in southern Iraq in a tent pitched next to the famed ziggurat temple. About 60 Iraqis — radical and mainstream Shia and Sunni Muslims, Kurds and supporters of the monarchy axed in 1958 — were expected to attend the meeting. But in nearby Nassiriya, thousands of Iraqis protested that they did not need American help now Saddam Hussein had gone. Yeah you do. You just don't know it. |

| #1 Yeah you do. You just don't know it. They know it, they just don't want to ADMIT it. Also, the ones NOT participating in the meeting are the ones that want to replace Sammy as the IOT (Idiot on Top). The more they play these games, the more convinced they should be left out. Like three miles on the other side of the Iranian border out. |
