Did you happen to miss this part?
The conference was attended by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and Iraqi Shiite and Kurdish lawmakers, as well as leading Sunni politicians.
And, everything that was siad is meaningless politics to make the Sunnis happy and drop their support of the insurgnecy.
I have said many times in the past year that the political leaders elected in January suck and I couldn't wait for Allawi to come back to power, this is why. Allawi would have told the Arab League were to stick it.
Miss it? Heck, I never even clicked on the link.
Thanks for the info, though.
Yet it still doesn't represent the wishes of the Iraqi government.
Think of it as a "bipartisan conference" of elected officials, but still operating outside of the force of the proposed Iraqi constitution.
It's an AP story, so muddying that fact (or failing to mention it) is standard procedure.
