We are not planning to withdraw. We don't care if it will be extended for a month. We just want a good draft.

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.

They will surprise us in the final hour. We will reject it and the people will be angry, the street will be angry and as a result we will be back to square one.

We want a constitution that the people will accept and have a greater possibility that the voters will say 'yes' to.

This constitution is full of land mines that would explode on Iraqis. This constitution will divide the country.

Federalism in this constitution will lead to the breakup of Iraq and a civil war.
