		PACHACHI SLAMS "HAWKS" Iraqi exile Pachachi ready to serve post-Saddam Iraq February 14, 2003 Agence France-Presse ABU DHABI, Feb 14 (AFP) - Iraqi exile Adnan Pachachi said Friday he was ready to serve Iraq in the "difficult" transitional period the country might go through should the regime of Saddam Hussein be toppled.
		Pachachi declared publicly in 1961 that Kuwait was part of Iraq and had no right to exist independently, a statement he renounced in 1999.
		Pachachi, a once ardent Arab nationalist and Sunni Muslim, the minority branch of Islam in Iraq, suggests that the United States is mainly interested in perpetuating the status quo in a post-Saddam Iraq, and not in promoting democracy," an administration official said.

		Pachachi's scheme seriously blurs the separation of powers, which is a key element in democracy.
		Pachachi and his backers (possibly the Americans) clearly want to use the 3-man presidency as a brake on Shiite dominance of parliament and the likely Shiite prime minister.
		Pachachi and his aides are saying it would prevent the concentration of power in the hands of one man. Uh, Adnan, that's what an independent legislature and judiciary are supposed to be for.

	Iraq: Pachachi Says Iraqi Provisional Government One Way To Speed Handover Of
		Adnan Pachachi, a former foreign minister and Sunni elder statesman, says an Iraqi provisional government should be established as soon as possible.
		Pachachi, one of the most influential members of the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council (ICG), spoke to RFE/RL yesterday as CPA head L. Paul Bremer arrived in Washington for urgent talks on resolving the problem of security and governance in the chaotic post-Hussein nation.
		Pachachi says a provisional Iraqi government would establish the solid foundation needed before moving forward with work on a constitution and popular elections: "The idea, which seems to be gaining ground, is that we should have a provisional government within a clear legal frame.

	Guardian \| Candidate who pulled out blames Chalabi plot
		Adnan Pachachi, who had been widely tipped to become Iraq's new president, last night claimed he was forced to turn down the job because of a "shabby conspiracy" led by the Pentagon's disgraced ex-favourite Ahmad Chalabi.
		Dr Pachachi said he decided to turn down the job on Monday after the Arab TV networks unfairly portrayed him as Washington's preferred candidate, a decision that cleared the way for Sheikh Ghazi.
		Dr Pachachi - who served as Iraq's foreign minister in the pre-Saddam 1960s and was also its permanent representative to the UN - said the US had in fact secretly wanted Sheikh Ghazi to get the job.

	Iraqi Leader Seeks U.N. Guidance on Holding Elections
		Pachachi said the Iraqi Governing Council, which is administering the country under the supervision of the occupying Coalition Provisional Authority, would like to receive a U.N. feasibility report by February 21, before Iraq's basic law is enacted at the end of February.
		Pachachi said in principle the council favors holding elections but is willing to consider the alternative of organizing caucuses in Iraq's 18 provinces to choose a legislature because of time constraints.
		Pachachi said the council is open to the idea of refining the procedures for the caucuses in order to reach an understanding with Shia cleric Ayatollah Ali Sistani, who has been advocating elections.

	GN Online: Interview: Iraqis 'should run post-war Iraq'
		Pachachi's critique - the group, made up of mainly Kurdish and Shia leaders is "deeply controversial" as it is not broadly representative of the Iraqi people and divided on ethnic and religious lines, when in fact, Iraqis do not see themselves as coloured by their ethnic or religious roots.
		Pachachi's political lineage is also impressive - his father, father-in-law and uncle were members of a secret society that worked against Ottoman rule, and took over the running of the newly emergent Iraqi state.
		As Pachachi emerges from retirement to pick up the baton of opposition leader of what is even now, with war seemingly only days away, a largely discordant orchestra, he is stepping back into a diplomatic vortex.

	AM - Saddam should not be killed: Iraqi Governing Council head
		ADNAN PACHACHI: Well it's partly the remnants of the old regime, and of course also there are the infiltrators coming into Iraq who, actually, most of them belong to fundamentalist religious organisations.
		ADNAN PACHACHI: I think it has helped because I think as a result a lot of people perhaps have shown greater readiness to give information and as a result, I think the level of violence has decreased in December if you compare to November, and I hope that in January it will be reduced further.
		ADNAN PACHACHI: Well, I think he has to realise that his life is over, whatever it is going to be, by execution or by jail or whatever.

		Pachachi also said Monday's meeting between the United States, the council and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan had gone well and that he hoped the world body would "very soon" send a team to assess whether elections could be held before the June 30 power-transfer deadline.

		Pachachi, from the Bush administration, as well as from the interim Iraqi government, is that any delay would merely be a victory for the insurgents, for the terrorists.
		PACHACHI: I don't agree, because I think a short delay would give us a chance to speak to those who are reluctant, who are really excitable (ph) political parties, who have their roots in certain areas of Iraq, to see whether we can persuade them to take part in the elections.
		PACHACHI: What we propose is within a period of six months, which means that we would be able to reach some kind of accommodation even before that.
