Baghdad, Oct 1, (VOI) – The Iraqi parliament will debate in its ordinary session on Tuesday the reply to the U.S. Congress resolution on the division of Iraq into three Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni entities, parliamentary sources said on Monday.

"The debate about a reply to the U.S. Senate resolution on the division of Iraq will be of top priority in Tuesday's session," Dr. Hanin al-Qadou, a legislator from the Shiite Unified Iraqi Coalition (UIC), told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

He expected the reply to be in "the form of a statement by the Iraqi parliament on this issue in view of the fact that enacting a legislation could take a long time."
He pointed out that the matter does not even require enacting a law because the content of the American resolution flagrantly interfered in Iraq's internal affairs, let alone its violation of the Iraqi constitution.

Qadou noted that the Iraqi constitution guarantees the country's "territorial integrity and national sovereignty," adding the Congress' resolution "can never change Iraq's settled national principles."

1. My question is, why do they sound so not confident in their rebuttal?

"...adding the Congress' resolution "can never change Iraq's settled national principles."

That should be obvious, and yet, they act as if it's not, as if it needs to be said.
