The paper referred to a statement from the Association of Muslim Scholars condemning the "long-term cooperation and friendship agreement" between Iraq and the United States, calling it "valueless."

It said the majority of the Iraqi people refuse the presence of the occupation forces in Iraq and will never agree to any agreement that affects Iraq's supreme interests.

"Although President Bush expressed his frustration toward Maliki's government after the U.S. military reports announced that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was a more dangerous threat to Washington than al-Qaida and the U.S. administration accused the Iraqi government of corruption, President Bush still discussed with the Iraqi prime minister issues that touch upon the sovereignty of Iraq," the paper said.

It said that with this step, Bush was activating the destruction of Iraq, supporting the institutions that demolish Iraq, and help forming a dictatorship that kills any meaning to the word "freedom" and "self-expression."

"This agreement, in fact, includes that the U.S. support the security system for an Iraqi government that is involved in torturing and killing the Iraqi people in prisons, and carrying on ethnic cleansing operations," the editorial alleged.

"President Bush and his followers need to stop ignoring the will of the people, international conventions and human rights organization. … Instead, he should admit and apologize to the destruction and killings his decisions caused in Iraq," the paper said.

Al Sabah Newspaper carried an editorial Thursday with the headline ""The old sick Ottoman man, and the American Superman."

It said that the Crocker-Patraeus report was a way to regain U.S. public support, which was convinced that U.S. Army was in a morass.

"This report could be the end of the U.S. political domination of the Middle East," it said.

It said the report announced the improvement of the security situation in Iraq. The paper said the western part of Iraq that faced al-Qaida domination now has a tribal rebellion against al-Qaida and that the security situation is improving in Baghdad.

The paper said violence in the south in general and in Basra in specific was escalating due to the widespread Iranian presence.

"This fact is of a big concern to the U.S. after the success they accomplished in Baghdad and the western part of Iraq. … It is of importance especially for the Republicans who wants to win the next elections," the paper said.

It said the United States needed four years to get rid of al-Qaida by supporting the Sunni tribesmen in the areas al-Qaida operated in and asked how long it will take the United States to get rid of the Iranian presence in the south of Iraq.

"If the U.S. thought to do the same as with the Sunnis tribes in the western Iraq, they are wrong ... because the southern tribesmen operate differently than the western tribesmen," it said.

The paper also criticized the U.S. policy of arming the tribesmen, saying it would turn people against the power of the state.
