1.(S) On August 21, DCM delivered reftel demarche to MFA
Acting Under Secretary Tariq Ahmed Al Haidan, and requested
UAEG's input on the proposal to create an Iraqi victims
assistance fund. Al Haidan said that it was a good idea, but
that the timing was wrong. He noted that UAEG has been
assisting in Iraq with training and the building of hospitals
and a desalinization plant, and that they will continue to
assist the Iraqis. Al Haidan said that this specific program
is possible in the future, but not at this time. When
pressed, he said that it is unlikely that any GCC leaders
would travel to Iraq and participate in a public outreach
effort with the current security situation in Iraq.
2. (S) According to Al Haidan, the political situation in
Iraq is at a juncture and once the constitution is ratified
and a new parliament is sitting the security situation will
radically improve. At that time, he said, UAEG and GCC
member state missions to Iraq will grow significantly, and
UAEG leaders will be willing to be in Baghdad and to be
photographed assisting the bombing victims.
