Iraq demands deadline for pullout of U.S. troops
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said today no security agreement with the United States could be reached unless it included a “specific deadline” for the withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq.
Last week, U.S. and Iraqi officials said the two sides had agreed tentatively to a schedule which included a broad pullout of combat forces by the end of 2011 with a residual U.S. force remaining behind to continue training and advising the Iraqi security forces.
But al-Maliki’s remarks today suggested that the Iraqi government is still not satisfied with that arrangement. An aide to the prime minister said today that Iraq remained adamant that the last American soldier must leave Iraq by the end of 2011 — regardless of conditions at the time.
