Iraq Press Roundup

In an editorial Tuesday titled "Specific mistakes," the association of Muslim Scholars' Al Basaer newspaper said disasters brought by the crippled political process make the situation in Iraq no clearer than it was.

It said the political process in Iraq will always be unsuccessful because the occupier decided to build a deformed entity it called a "political process."

"Divisive figures based on sectarianism and narrow partisanship took positions and have become the rulers," it said.

The editorial said acting national was a process that is merely an attempt to pacify the Iraqis' miseries.

"The image, of what Iraqi civilians think is "relief," is represented in three laws the current Iraqi Parliament passed with the support of the occupiers," it said.

It added that occupation forces soothed their way announcing that the change being introduced would affect the form of the government only, but many other things changed, too.

"The occupiers dissolved the army and other state institutes and kept what they wished," it said.

The paper said a "fabricated" process took place to establish a process that led to all obstacles Iraqis face today: A crippled constitution was written to set up "chronic" problems and elections took place in view of the occupier's vision.

"The three laws that were recently passed serve U.S. interests," it said.

"The Iraqi decision-makers are not trustworthy because they don't have principles," it said. "They don't understand the meaning of the Iraqi people's suffering."

Al Baser said Iraq was heading toward smaller -- a version of the political failures in Lebanon.

"This plan of separating Iraq is to ensure and keep the current Iraqi government ... as players," it said.

The editorial said, "Iraq is under the mercy of the occupier and its allies on the Iraqi side on one hand and the opposition and resistance, which will be victorious, on the other."
