Everyone is tired after the last week's hectic activities. It is like a holiday today.

Today is the final day, and the last chance to discuss the draft constitution. We hope to reach an agreement that would satisfy everyone.

We have never said we wanted a Kurdish state. The Arabs have never said they wanted a totally Arab state. So I think as long as we all agreed to democracy we should be flexible and meet in the middle.

If it is delayed a bit nothing much will affect it because this is a deadline we put ourselves, I mean the coalition and the Governing Council, just the two of us. The two of us are in these meetings ... so if we say that we can't finish it, give it a few more days. It's very logical. It won't be any problem as far as Iraq is concerned.

We have all agreed to a democratic Iraq. We have agreed to ballot boxes deciding everything, We have agreed that the people should chose everything. They've never said they wanted an Islamic law, Islamic state.

Washington is just sitting by the phone... always asking what is happening. There is tremendous pressure and intervention from the US. It had never been so much since the invasion.
