Khalilizad wants Iraqis to meet away from Baghdad

[ECH1969]

U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad will try to persuade the country‘s main political players to take part in a conference, possibly outside Iraq, where they might get the long-stalled political process back on track, Time magazine said on Thursday.

Creation of a government is necessary for U.S. plans to draw down its 130,000-strong force in Iraq, he told the magazine in an interview.

Khalilzad told Time he would advocate a new initiative: lock the bickering officials up in a room outside of Baghdad and maybe outside of the country, and don‘t let them out until they have sorted out their differences.

Do they even understand the irony of the 'official' Iraqi government having to meet outside the country in order to get anything accomplished?
