We think it's a good agreement but it was not easy to come by. As we all know these are extremely troubled times for the company and for this industry.

A parliamentary agreement has been reached between the Kurdish coalition and the (Shiite) alliance on accepting the suggestions of the forces that did not take part in the elections (Sunnis) and it will be announced in parliament tomorrow.

This agreement will serve as both a tribute to a true American hero who led our nation through its darkest days and as a reminder that disability is not a barrier to achievement.

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.

All parties will work within the next three days to reach an agreement. We will meet in three days to finalise this issue.

If we cannot reach an agreement, God forbid, the constitution will be put to the Iraqi people on October 15.
