The Bush administration has been bragging that there will be a new constitution in Iraq by mid-August, but that now seems very unlikely. All of the Sunni members of Iraq’s Constitution-drafting committee have suspended their membership in the committee and are boycotting its meetings. According to Iraq expert Juan Cole they are protesting that the clerical Shiite head of the committee keeps giving interviews in which he maintains that the constitution will be ready by August 1, when in fact the Sunnis do not even accept that first sentence of the current draft. The Sunnis are also demanding an international investigation into the killing of 3 Sunni members of the committee on Tuesday, Meanwhile, the Kurds presented the constitution committee with a new map of their proposed state of Kurdistan, which expands its borders much south of previous prototypes. They are demanding that this map be incorporated into the new constitution.
