Politics
(Al-Mada) President Jalal Talabani has called on illegal armed forces, other than the Saddamis and Takfiris, to join the political process. He revealed that some groups had begun negotiations with him, Prime Minister Maliki and multilateral forces to join the reconciliation plan. Talabani urged insurgents to put their disagreements aside and take part in the rebuilding of Iraq, promising that there would be a schedule for the withdrawal of foreign forces once the Iraqi security forces are able to deal with the situation in the country. He maintained that when terror is over, there would be no need for foreign forces.
