IRAQI NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SUCCESSES. BRAVO!
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Iraqi Freedom Operation was only 2 years ago. That liberated millions of Iraqis from Saddam Hussein’s human shredding machines. Then came the historic January 30 Victory Vote as Iraqis defied killers international. Now the first National Assembly has gathered in Baghdad, celebrating democracy for the first time.
Those in the Assembly were so elated over their chance to experience personally freedom’s breezes that they spent much time reveling in just that. Who could blame them?
In addition, they saw through some groundbreaking successes for the new government. According to the Associated Press, "both Kurds and Shiites reported progress on a range of issues, including the shape of the Iraqi government.
"‘We will be seeing a government formed next week,’ predicted Haitham al-Husseiny, who heads the office of Abdel Aziz al-Hakim, leader of the Shiite-dominated United Iraqi Alliance.
That is amazing and cause for accolades to the US-led Coalition under US Defense Secretary Donald Rumself as well as much deserved thanks to US President George W. Bush.
Though the political opposition downplays any New Iraq successes, those attuned to reality for the past four-years-plus in particular understand the truth. Mr. Bush has ushered into existence the actual freedom experience yearned for by millions.
What other most powerful nation leader would spend himself in outright giving — energy, funds, expertise to set loose humans from despots’ cages? Yet that is exactly what takes the lead in Mr. Bush’s first and second administration. While not forsaking the domestic, but instead charging full force ahead for America’s good, Mr. Bush continues to maintain vigilance over worldwide liberty opportunities.
"Azad Jundiyan, a spokesman for Jalal Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, said he thought the government will be named after Kurds celebrate Norwuz, the Persian new year, on March 26.
"Deliberations focused on whether to allow the Kurds' peshmerga militia to remain in Kurdistan as part of the Iraqi police and army, along with setting a timetable for Kurds to assume control of the oil-rich northern city of Kirkuk and permit the speedy return of nearly 100,000 refugees — conditions included in an interim law that serves as a preliminary constitution."
With unbelievably weighty issues before them, the Assembly members continue on course with cordiality and intelligence. This week it was a remarkable display of maturity in democracy fine-tuning at the National Assembly.
"’Negotiations were very constructive and the differences in the interim law and peshmerga were solved. We have agreed that some peshmerga will join the Kurdistan police and some will be part of the Iraqi army, with the same equipment and salaries and take orders from the defense ministry in Baghdad,’ it was reported."
Thank you, Mr. Bush
