Iraq wants US withdrawal timetable

(01:54) Report

Jul 8 - Iraqi officials say they are seeking a time table for US forces to leave Iraq.

The Bush administration has always opposed setting any withdrawal timetable, saying it would allow militant groups to lie low and wait until the U.S. troops in Iraq left.

Deborah Lutterbeck reports.SOUNDBITES:

  • Iraq's national security adviser Muwaffaq al Rubaie, saying (Arabic):
    "We can't have a memorandum of understanding with foreign forces unless it has dates and clear horizons determining the departure of foreign forces. We're unambiguously talking about their departure. We are waiting impatiently for the day when the last foreign soldier leaves Iraq."
  • State Department spokesman Gonzalos Gallegos
