16. NYTimes: Iraqi leaders agree to disagree
or something to that effect...

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/22/international/middleeast/22cnd-iraq.html?hp&ex=1124769600&en=593e756db6d0d056&ei=5094&partner=homepage

"The constitution is finished," said the deputy speaker for the National Assembly, Hussein Shahrastani.

But officials said they would need another three days to resolve disagreements over three key issues: federalism, treatment of former Bath Party members, and the number of votes required to elect the prime minister and president. If the rival parties cannot come to an agreement in that time, each party would be free to take its own position on the constitution, said Hajim M. al-Hassani, the speaker of Parliament.
