UN won't print Iraq constitution

THE United Nations has refused to start printing Iraq's draft constitution, yet again delaying efforts to get millions of copies to voters before a referendum on October 15.

One negotiator from the Sunni Arab minority which has been lobbying for changes to the text adopted by parliament on August 28, said non-Arab Kurdish leaders agreed to an amendment to the draft to strengthen wording on Iraq's nature as an Arab state.

Others involved were not available for comment.

"We haven't been given authority to print it," said Nicholas Haysom, a UN official in Baghdad, adding that he could not say whether the existing draft had been amended.

2. Ha ha, they "haven't been given authority"
Isn't that the same whine the Bushadmin has every time they fuck something up, most recently and vividly the Katrina disaster? Boo hoo, we don't have the proper paperwork from the proper people, our hands our tied, so sorry. I hope they hear a *lot* more of that from the other end as the days go on. Suck it up, fucktards.
