"Last week, U.S. and Iraqi officials said the two sides agreed tentatively to a schedule that includes a broad pullout of combat troops by the end of 2011 with the possibility that a residual U.S. force might stay behind to continue training and advising Iraqi security services. But al-Maliki's remarks indicated his government was not satisfied with that arrangement and wants all foreign troops gone by the end of 2011 ... "There can be no treaty or agreement except on the basis of Iraq's full sovereignty," al-Maliki told a gathering of Shiite tribal sheiks. He said an accord must be based on the principle that "no foreign soldier remains in Iraq after a specific deadline, not an open time frame.""

You're right. Bush should tell them what they want. That'll work much better.

What? Who mentioned Bush? The Iraqi government has shown, so far, to be pretty inept. They want the USA out, but this is a fairly new development largely due to the decrease in violence in the past year. But the recent actions of said government may illicit a new round of sectarian violence.
