Iraq wants pull-out even later

Vienna - Talks on the withdrawal of United States-led foreign troops from Iraq can begin at the end of next year, said Iraq's president on Monday.

President Jalal Talabani, in Austria to attend a three-day conference on Islam, gave no timetable for the full pull-out of troops, but said Britain probably could start a "step by step" exit in 2007.

This apparently was a longer time frame than suggested by Talabani in an interview broadcast on Sunday.

Talabani told Britain's ITV network that the 8 500 British soldiers in Iraq could be gone by the end of next year.

1. Jalal Talabani is confused

It seems like he is trying to defuse the pressure on the BaB liers(bush & blair).

2. Talabani wants to sacrifice our troops while he gets Iran to prep his

Shiite militia to wipe out the Sunnis.
