Iraq lawmakers seek U.S. security deal
BAGHDAD (AP) -
Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari briefed lawmakers following his
visit last month to Washington, where he met with President Bush
and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
His meetings in Washington
focused on the ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and Iraq on
the security agreement and a separate set of rules governing the
actions of American soldiers.
Many Iraqi lawmakers have complained that the U.S. demands would
infringe on Iraqi sovereignty, and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
said last month that the talks had reached an impasse.
