Iraqis for end to occupation; Bush: installing a government might take two years
Iraq-USA, Politics, 4/26/2003

While the Iraqi people continue to express their rejections of the occupation, demonstration were organized in Baghdad and other areas in Iraq demanding the elimination of the Anglo- American occupation.

Meantime, the US President George Bush announced that the founding of an Iraqi government able to seize matter might take two years, in remarks that the American forces will not leave Iraq before that date.

Just one Month after the occupation of Iraq, the British foreign office secretary Jacque Straw admitted that so far no mass destruction weapons were found in Iraq.

On Friday morning hundreds of worshippers went out from one mosque in Baghdad chanting slogans denouncing the American- British presence in Iraq.

The worshippers chanted slogans like: "no to the US, No to Colonialism, No to Israel, yes for a national Iraqi government," announcing rejection to any government imposed on the Iraqis.

In London, Gen. Nim Cross, one of the British aides for the retired American Gen, Jay Garner, who was appointed by the US administration as a chairman for the interim American administration in Iraq expected that the new Iraqi government will be appointed by a democratic process, as he claimed, within 6 months.

In a statement to the BBC, Gen. Cross expressed his conviction that Garner has between three to 6 months to draw an engineering design for the Iraqi government in which the Iraqi people will decide their civil administration and civil society.

On the other hand, the British foreign office secretary Jacque Straw admitted that no mass destruction weapons were found in Iraq and he justified the American- British war against Iraq because of the failure to implement the UN security council resolutions for several years.

On the other hand, the American central leadership in Qatar announced that Iraq's deputy premier Tareq Aziz surrendered to the American forces, but did not disclose the place where the operation happened.

An American official announced yesterday that the American forces arrested the chairman of the Iraqi intelligence forces Farouk Hijazi on Thursday.
