U.S. Rejects Iraqi Demand For Withdrawal Timeline

by Chris Jones on July 8, 2008 · 1 comment

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has been playing politics the last few days by telling the U.S. media that a firm withdrawal date must be part of any status of forces agreement. His demands were swiftly rejected today by the U.S. State Department. A spokesman said any withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq will be conditions based rather than Maliki based.

Maliki has apparantly forgotten who made it possible for him to even be Prime Minister of Iraq. The Iraqi Army wins a few battles and suddenly the Iraqi govt. thinks they can takeover security for the whole country?

Yeah, right.
