CROWN PRINCE SULTAN UNDERLINED THE IMPORTANCE OF COOPERATION AMONG IRAQ'S NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES FOR THE SERVICE OF IRAQ AND ITS PEOPLE. 'IRAQ SHOULD NEVER BE A COMPROMISING PLATFORM FOR REALIZATION OF POLITICAL GOALS, AND IT IS HIGH TIME FOR THE ALLIANCE FORCES TO REVISE THE GOALS OF THEIR PRESENCE IN IRAQ.' THE CROWN PRINCE SAID THESE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE RAISED IN THIS CONTEXT: "WHAT THESE FORCES HAVE REALIZED SINCE THEIR ENTRY INTO IRAQ? HAS THE STRATEGY BEING WORKED OUT BY THESE FORCES ATTAINED ANY POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT? ARE THERE STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES WHICH WE SHOULD THINK OF IN THE LIGHT OF THE DETERIORATING SITUATION IN IRAQ? " CROWN PRINCE SULTAN CALLED ON THE POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS IN IRAQ TO START A COMPREHENSIVE NATIONAL DIALOGUE UNDER A NATIONAL UMBRELLA THAT REPRESENTS ALL IRAQI FORCES AND INSTITUTIONS FOR ESTABLISHING A NEW IRAQ ON BASES OF THE COMMON PRINCIPLES ABOVE ANY SECTARIAN, ETHNIC OR PARTIAL INTERESTS. CROWN PRINCE SULTAN URGED THE MEDIA INSTITUTIONS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE IRAQ TO AVOID CREATION OF SEDITIONS THAT HARM THE COUNTRY. HE NOTED THAT THE EXAGGERATED MEDIA COVERAGE FEEDS TERRORISM AND STRENGTHEN FURTHER TERRORISM.--MORE www.spa.gov.sa/416174
