Rice met with Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, national security adviser, Muwafaq al-Rubaie, and foreign affairs minister Hoshyar Zebari today, as senior US military official said US forces could begin withdrawing from Iraqi cities as early as June under a draft agreement reached between US and Iraqi negotiators. Arabic writing on front banner (L) reads: "This visit is a bad omen."
