- Bush says Iraq constitution will be landmark event
SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) -President George W. Bush on Monday said the development of an Iraqi constitution would be a landmark event both for that country and for the Middle East and said he believed the final document would reflect Iraqi values.
"The establishment of a democratic constitution will be a landmark event in the history of Iraq, in the history of the Middle East," Bush said in a speech to U.S. veterans.
He said all of Iraq's main ethnic and religious groups are working together on it and "made a courageous choice to join the political process and together they will produce a constitution that reflects the values and traditions of the Iraqi people." - Iraq Sunnis up in arms as Shi'ites force charter
