BAGHDAD (AFP) - - A key Shiite member of Iraq's ruling coalition called Saturday for the complete withdrawal of foreign troops from his country and rejected the possibility of permanent bases.

Ammar Hakim, a leading figure of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC), told a gathering celebrating the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr: "We will work not to have fixed bases for foreign troops on Iraqi lands."

He also called on American forces to be more careful in their use of force after recent bombings killed civilians in a Shiite village north of Baghdad and in a Sunni area northwest of the Iraqi capital.

"We are working to enter into a security agreement with the international community to ensure that Iraq retrieves its full sovereignty," he said.

Hakim is the son of SIIC leader Abdel Aziz al-Hakim and has played an increasingly prominent role in recent months as his father recovers from cancer.

1. Retrieves? Full sovereignty? Interesting, and strong, word choices.

"We are working to enter into a security agreement with the international community to ensure that Iraq retrieves its full sovereignty,"

This is a warning to Bush to back off and get out.

3. "to ensure that Iraq retrieves its full sovereignty,"

Meaning: Iraq is still not a sovereign nation. Most Iraqis want the US/UK Occupation to cease. The
Iraqi Govt. majority is still dependent upon US Forces to keep them in power.

The Busholini Regime, Congress, the MIC, the Multi-Corps, the Oil Corps want to maintain the US Occupation. Until the Shi'ites, Sunnis & Kurds unite on that issue, the US/UK Occupation will stay in place.
