Maliki Says US Troops Will Leave if no Pact
By tictactoe | November 24, 2008
Echoing comments last week from State Department adviser David Satterfield, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has said his government will not seek an extended UN Mandate if the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) with the US fails to pass parliament. Though both sides had previously expressed interest in using an extension of the mandate, which expires at the end of December, as a fallback position, Satterfield indicated last week that the US would block the extension if proposed.http://news.antiwar.com
