Bush Urges Iraqis To Pass Amendment Banning Gay Marriage

BAGHDAD-In a private meeting with Mohammed Bahr al-Ulloum, President Bush
urged the Iraqi Governing Council president to amend the recently ratified
Iraqi constitution to protect the sanctity of heterosexual marriage.

"The Iraqi constitution, signed just a few short weeks ago, will usher in a
new era of democratic freedom in Iraq," Bush said. "But there are some
unlawful and unholy acts that the constitution's original drafters could not
have possibly intended to protect."

Bush then told al-Ulloum he must act quickly and decisively to preserve his
country's most sacred tradition.
