U.S. Set to Join Iran and Syria in Talks on Iraq
By HELENE COOPER and KIRK SEMPLE
02/28/07 "New York Times" -- - WASHINGTON, Feb. 27
Ask: Can we have our oil?
Ms. Rice and her deputies have, for several months, pointed to an international conference on Iraq that was established after the American invasion as an available channel to talk to Iran and Syria. Administration officials were working with the United Nations and the Iraqi government last fall to set up the next meeting of the conference, which is sometimes called the International Compact on Iraq. But American officials put off the meeting in part to press the Iraqi government to pass the oil law, administration officials said. The Iraqi government approved a draft of the law on Monday.
