Latest news, 6:00 am EST
BBC is reporting that The Shiia leaders say they have a constitution to send to the Assembly for approval. The Sunni say there is no agreement, they are well past their own deadline, and therefore the Assembly should be dissolved. Last night the Shiia had offered a new compromise, but it was rejected by the Sunni. No mention of the Kurds -- this seems to be a two way struggle.
The BBC is willing to admit that this mess is in fact democracy in action, but hasten to add that even so, Iraq is in "real trouble."
Read the article on which the broadcast was based here.
******************
A commentator [sorry I missed the name], speaking on FOX News, blames the current impasse on Bush for encouraging the Shiites and Kurds to cater to Sunni demands. This merely emboldened the Sunnis and made them more intransigent.
