Al-Kubeisi, who does not support toppling the Iraqi regime said "The Iraqi deputy Premier Tareq Aziz informed us that we can, as from now, start working to found a party in Iraq."

He added "we can practice the political work awaiting (the end of legal ban) by new constitution and other decisions on party- pluralism." al-Kubeisi did not fix a date for the issuance of the new constitution, but only noted that this constitution will be drawn and submitted for the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and then on the Iraqi parliament.
