Char, you shouldn't suggest folks read the paper and provide a link enabling one to do just that if you want your quote to have any validity. Yeah, al-Maliki said he would like some troops to leave by the end of the year ... because Pelosi had asked how soon troops could start leaving.

So, Maliki DOES want us there, at least until Iraqi troops and police are properly trained. Quote that!
