Bush, who continues to insist that Iraq has not descended into civil war, or Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al- Maliki, who appears to believe that Americans will prop him up indefinitely. The two were scheduled to meet Wednesday in Jordan. We hope they used the time - finally - to impress on each other the brutal facts of life in their respective capitals. Bush needs to make clear that Americans' patience has all but run out and that he will start bringing the troops home unless Maliki moves to rein in sectarian bloodletting and Iraqi troops start shouldering more of the burden. Maliki needs to make Bush understand Iraq's full desperation - and his own desperate political weakness. So long as Baghdad remains in chaos - and militias are better armed and more motivated than the Iraqi army - he has no chance of ending the blood feuds or breaking the cycle of retribution. This sort of truth-telling does not come easily to either man, and at this point there may not be anything that can salvage Iraq. But more denial and drift will only lead to more chaos. The very fact that the meeting Wednesday was being held in Jordan - explanations range from concerns about safety in Iraq to the White House's desire to pry Maliki away from his more unsavory backers - should leave no doubt about the urgent need for a change in strategy. B';lsh needs to start by giving the Iraqi leader a clear deadline for beginning national reconciliation talks, preferably as soon as Maliki returns to Baghdad. And he should insist that the talks continue until so~e agr~em~nt ~s reached on protectmg mmonty nghts, equitably dividing Iraq's oil wealth, and demobilizing sectarian militias. Bush does not need to insult Maliki by barking out orders. But he does need to make clear that he can hold off demands for an American withdrawal for only so long. Bush should not be the only demander. Reconciliation talks will go nowhere until Iraqis see evidence that there is at least some hope for a better life. Maliki needs to give his own deadline to the Americans for starting a truly make-or-break campaign to retake the streets of Baghdad. Maliki also needs to tell Bush that the American training of the Iraqi Army is failing, and without a more aggressive pr
Revue de Presse-Press Review-Berhevoka (:ape-Rivista Stampa-Dentro de la Prensa-Basm Ozeti ED weighs suspending key areas of talks on Turkish membership Blair cautions members on 'serious mistake' By James Kanter BRUSSELS: Turkey's prospects for membership in the European Union dimmed on Wednesday with recommendations to suspend key areas of negotiation, even as Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain followed Pope Benedict XVI in urging positive signals to Ankara. OUi Rehn, the EU enlargement commissioner, said Turkey had failed to keep its promise to open up trade with another EU member, Cyprus, forcing the European Commission to recommending freezing about a quarter of the negotiation program. "The ball is now in Turkey's court," said Rehn. "Failure to meet legal obligations cannot remain without consequences." Rehn said eight areas of negotiation relating to trade such as customs, transportation, fisheries, financial services and external relations, should be frozen. EU governments must decide whether to approve the Rehn's plan at a summit meeting in mid-December. Seeking to shore up support for Turkey amid fears that an EU decision to slow the entry talks would likely cause an irreparable rift, Blair on Wednesday encouraged EU governments to look beyond such concerns. Blair warned it would be "a serious mistake for Europe long-term" to deny Turkish ambitions to join the European Union. Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero of Spain also urged leaders to keep the prospect of full membership open to Ankara. But Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany strongly endorsed the EU stance, demanding that Turkey keep to its earlier promise to open trade with Cyprus. Reversing earlier personal objections to Turkish membership, the pope said Tuesday that dialogue between Turkey and the European Union should lead to integration with Europe. Rehn sought to portray the recommendations as a further encouragement to Turkey to undertake reforms, rather than a flat rebuke for failing to resolve the Cyprus problem. Rehn said that putting a limited number of areas of negotiation off-limits until the standoff with Cyprus standoff was resolved was the best way to keep hopes for Turkey's eventual accession alive. "We confirm that these negotiations continue, although with a slower pace," Rehn said. "Europe needs a stable, democratic and increasingly prosperous Turkey," he said. Even so, the decision appeared to inflame the perception in Turkey that Europe had been negotiating in bad faith. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey called the decision unacceptable, according to a report by The Associated Press that quoted Turkish television. "We will not allow anyone to trample on our rights," said Egemen Bagis, an aide to Erdogan, according to the AP report. Turkish leaders would still try to avert a partial suspension, Bagis was quoted as saying. Talks with Turkey began 13 months ago but have stumbled over the standoff, lasting decades, with Cyprus over the status of the Mediterranean island. Turkey does not recognize the Cypriot government and backs the Turkish Cypriot mini-state, which no other country recognizes. Deep skepticism in countries like France, Germany and Austria about the economic and political costs of integrating a large and predominantly Muslim nation into the European family also has cast doubts over the eventual outcome of the talks with Ankara. Turkey has been slow to respond to calls to expand religious and press freedoms, further stirring doubts about its candidacy. Rehn declined to lay down a timetable for Turkey to reach an accord over Cyprus and said the matter should pass to the United Nations because EU ultimatums had failed so many times. The European Union so far has closed only one chapter, concerning science and research, with Turkey out of 35 chapters that pave the way for a country to accede to the bloc. Procedures to open 26 other chapters could begin at any time - although completing a chapter can take years. Despite the deadlock, the background work to prepare a chapter, which is a process known as screening, still can continue. But those activities have been frozen for the past two months in what Rehn called an "undeclared strike" by EU governments. 6 powers easing on Iran sanctions By Helene Cooper WASHINGTON: The six world powers seeking to rein in Iran's nuclear , ambitions are circulating a significantly weakened draft for a UN Security Council resolution against its nuclear program, in an attempt to keep their fragile coalition from falling apart. The new text under consideration has dropped all mention of sanctions against Iran's first nuclear power plant at Bushehr, European diplomats said. The United States had initially proposed including Bushehr on the list of programs to single out, but Russia, which has been helping to build the power plant with the Iranians, balked. Diplomats from the six countries, including Britain, France, Germany and China, have been squabbling about the draft resolution for three months. Complicating the matter are calls, from inside and outside the Bush administration, for President George W. Bush to initiate talks with Iran over the worsening violence in Iraq. "This has to be carefully managed," said a European diplomat, speaking on the condition of anonymity under normal diplomatic practice. "It's important for the U.S. to separate the two issues, because the Iranians would like everything to be combined." It has been six months since the six powers offered Iran a list of incentives to stop enriching uranium and threatened sanctions ifIran did not. The growing call for Washington to initiate talks with Tehran over Iraq is only one of the complicating factors. Also holding things up is the fact that Russia and China - but Russia in particular - dislike the idea of punitive sanctions, and have been dragged along unwillingly, according to diplomats. U.S. officials have sought a strongly worded resolution that would prohibit any technical or financial assistance that could benefit Iran's nuclear program, and would impose a ban on visas for any Iranians involved in nuclear activities, according to U.S. and European diplomats involved in the talks. 72
