The Kurdish Al Ittihad newspaper said Thursday the U.S. Congress is starting discussions on a resolution the Bush administration adopted to sell weapons worth $20 billion to Arab countries.

The Kurdish Al Ittihad newspaper said Tuesday in its editorial that military and political explosions in the Middle East -- especially Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon -- have led to and will lead to the formation of barriers that limit vision, and force unprotected human beings to fight each other.

The Kurdish Al Ittihad Newspaper published an editorial titled "Iraqis' consensus" that said Iraqi political parties usually disagree on principle, to show they have the power to say no to their political rivals, which it called a "permanent policy."
