Iraq PM urges 'speedy' US pullout
Iraq's interim Prime Minister Ibrahim
Jaafari has called for US troops to
leave the country soon, but added no
timetable had been set for withdrawal.
Mr Jaafari was speaking in a joint
press conference with US Defence
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who is in
Baghdad on a surprise visit.
Mr Jaafari asked the US to train Iraqi
troops faster and to begin handing
security control over to local forces.
The top US commander in Iraq has said a
withdrawal could begin in the spring.
