Maliki says time of US pressure in Iraq is over
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki told reporters on Tuesday that the time when the United States could put pressure on Iraq had passed.
"The time for putting pressure on Iraq is over," Maliki said, referring to comments made by US Vice President Joe Biden, who at the weekend urged the Iraqi government to speed the pace of political reform in the war-torn country.
