|
September 21, 2008 Head of political and military affairs at U.S embassy Michel Corbin said that the security pact between Iraq and U.S is going to be signed soon, denying any differences with the Iraqi negotiator team. Corbin who is a member in the U.S negotiator team said that the discussions between Washington and Baghdad concentrate on the tasks of the U.S forces and not on their numbers. It’s worth mentioning that Iraqi PM Nuri al-Maliki emphasized that the U.S side initially accepted to withdraw its forces after the end of 2011 and to pull out all the combat forces from all the cities by the middle of the next year. |
