[WWW.CHINAVIEW.CN] -WASHINGTON, June 3 [2004] (Xinhuanet) -- The
United States said on Thursday that transfer of power to Iraq could
come before June 30,the scheduled date for the US-led occupation
authorities to hand over sovereignty to an Iraqi interim government.
"I wouldn't rule out something earlier, if all the circumstances
and planets aligned in that way, but right now, our focus is June
30th," State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said.
However, an anonymous US State Department official said that an
earlier handover of sovereignty to Iraq was not likely.
On Tuesday, Iraq's new president Sheikh Ghazi al-Yawar, vice
presidents Ibrahim Jaffari and Roj Nuri Shawis as well as prime
minister Ayad Allawi took an oath in Baghdad, the first step of
taking over sovereignty on June 30.
US President George W. Bush has promised to hand over "full"
sovereignty to the Iraqi interim government but meanwhile will keep
the 138,000 US troops currently stationed in Iraq "as long as
necessary."
[EXCERPT]
This [difference between the Western and Islamic calendar] is
perhaps why there is not much talk of "anniversaries" in the
Islamic world, though surely they are celebrated in that culture.
The tenth day of the first month, Muharram, is the holiest day in
the calendar, and the celebrated birthday of Mohammed. In 1990
that date was equal to August 2, the day after Saddam invaded
Kuwait, and the day that the UN issued its first resolution against
that invasion, UNSCR 660.
It's easy to be unaware of an Islamic anniversary. For instance,
when George Bush gave the "go" order to invade Iraq, on March 19,
2003, the Islamic calendar date was 16 Muharram, 1424 (Bush gave
orders after sunset). This date equates to August 8 in the year
1990, which was the Islamic year 1411. 16 Muharram, 1411, was the
day that Saddam Hussein announced the annexation of Kuwait!
Resolution 689, The final UN Security Council Resolution in regards
to Iraq prior to the January 17, 1991 invasion by the original
Coalition was issued on November 29, 1990. This translates into 11
Jumada al-Ula, 1411, and thus the 12th day of Jumada al-Ula begins
on this day as well.
In the Gregorian year 2004, the 12th day of Jumada al-Ula matches
ends at sunset on June 30.
Perhaps most important about June 30 is another more easily seen
anniversary. It is the very date that the "Anglo-Iraqi Treaty"
commenced in 1930. This treaty created an independent Iraq.
Two years later, Iraq was granted full soverignity by the UK on
October 3; the very next day, the League of Nations (precursor to
the UN) voted unanimously to give Iraq membership. On October 4, as
the vote was counted, the Moon was conjunct the fixed star Antares!
What led up to the 1930 treaty was a less useful treaty signed
between the same two parties on October 10, 1922. As is typical
for such matters British, there were four planets in the
constellation Virgo, but on that day the moon occulted the fixed
star Aldebaran, though this event happened below the horizon and
invisible in Iraq.
Nonetheless, such an event is important astrologically whether
visible or not; and here we find a distinct, emerging pattern of
planetary conjunctions with Aldebaran and Antares when it comes to
Iraq ...
