Unless you come together in a comprehensive way, reach an agreement through this constitution, we are going to have to consider setting a timetable for departure,

If there's a strong majority of Sunnis, which is very possible, that vote against that constitution, could that not possibly lead to a worsening political situation rather than a better one?

I'm very skeptical as to the ability to reach a comprehensive agreement given how little has been achieved in the last four months.

The Constitution is a document that should only be amended with great caution.

We have a hope of succeeding if we learn from our past mistakes and pull together to make the hard choices.

If they will issue a constitution without our agreement, we will hamper the political process and move to postpone the transitional government. That will mean another year without stability.
