McCain: The Iraqis are not asking for a timetable for withdrawal

Q: Senator, with Iraqi leaders now calling for a timetable for U.S. troop withdrawals–

McCAIN: Actually, the Iraqis are not. The Iraqis were widely reported as short a time ago as a couple of weeks ago that there would be no status of forces agreement, and Maliki would say that, and it got headlines, and of course it turned out not to be true.

You know what's coming, right?
Iraqi National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie also remarked, “We would not accept any memorandum of understanding with [the U.S.] side that has no obvious and specific dates for the foreign troops’ withdrawal from Iraq.”

American has been lost.
