It looks like Iraq wants us out by date certain now:

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Monday no security agreement with the United States could be reached unless it included a “specific deadline” for the withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq.

Last week, U.S. and Iraqi officials said the two sides had agreed tentatively to a schedule which included a broad pullout of combat forces by the end of 2011 with a residual U.S. force remaining behind to continue training and advising the Iraqi security forces.

I wonder how the administration will respond. Will we hear another line of crap from Bush that it was just a “misinterpretation”? That’s what they said when al-Maliki first said he wanted us out.
