Parliament Set to Accept Iraq Constitution

BAGHDAD, Iraq
Sunni negotiators said Sunday they expect the draft constitution drawn up by the Shiite and Kurdish blocs to be "rammed through" parliament despite their objections and last-ditch U.S. efforts to secure a compromise.

Sunni negotiator Sadoun Zubaydi said he expected the National Assembly to rubber-stamp the proposal. "They have told us it will be rammed through whether we like it or not," he said.
