Also Thursday, Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno, the No. 2 commander in Iraq, said U.S. military officers were talking with Iraqi militants — excluding al-Qaida — about cease-fires and other arrangements to try to stop the violence.

He also suggested he might not be able to meet the September deadline for telling Congress whether President Bush's military buildup in Iraq is working.

You've got to love these Iraqis. It doesn't matter what it is, if it has a deadline attached to it the first thing they say is we won't be able to meet it. Three months away and this guy is already saying it. UNBELIEVABLE!

Tell me about it! They put the Procrastination Society to shame! For the Iraqi officials, deadlines are like records. Everytime they break a record, they get an oil rig as a prize.

does the fact that the us is building permanent installations over there mean anything, in our context?
rather the "us" is being made to put installations there. the real PTB have all the time (and lives) in the world to get what they want.

The source denied that Talabani's visit to the United States was "just for losing weight," adding "the visit was to have his general health examined."
Talabani met with U.S. President George W. Bush in Washington on Thursday to discuss with him developments in national reconciliation in Iraq and planned amendments to the law on debaathification.
Talabani left Sulaimaniya on May 20 for the United States for a checkup in Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Iraqi and foreign mass media had said Talabani might stay in the United States for nearly three months to lose some weight and avoid work pressure for a while.
The Iraqi president was admitted into al-Hussein Medical City in the Jordanian capital Amman on February 25 after suffering from an indisposition.

Bush said he was sending the White House national security council's top hand for Iraq and Afghanistan, Meghan O'Sullivan, to Baghdad to help US Ambassador Ryan Crocker work with Iraqi leaders on making political progress.
"She's going back to serve with Ambassador Crocker to help the Iraqis and to help the embassy help the Iraqis meet the benchmarks that the Congress and the president expect to get passed," said Bush.
