Maliki NOT OK with Obama’s Withdrawal Plan

Hat tip Real Debate.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki did not back the plan of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and his comments to a German magazine on the issue were misunderstood, the government’s spokesman said on Sunday.

Ali al-Dabbagh said in a statement that Maliki’s remarks to Der Spiegel were translated incorrectly.
