Iraq Demands US Troops Out By 2011

Iraq Demands US Troops Out by 2011 Iraq has demanded a clear commitment from the US that its forces will have left its soil by the end of 2011. The stance was revealed in a newly toughened-up version of a draft military pact that could eventually see the US presence forced to make their exit much sooner. With time fast running out to seal the deal, the Iraqi Cabinet today gave Nouri al-Maliki, the prime minister, approval to submit a series of proposed amendments to the US side for further negotiation.
