In this Associated Press article, John Daniszewski writes that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki wants to create a new security accord with the United States, but is unwavering that it must respect Iraqi interests. In discussing an accord that would allow U.S. troops to remain in the country beyond next year, al-Maliki said, "It is a very important agreement that involves the stability and the security of the country and the existence of foreign troops. It has a historic dimension."
In Restoring the Balance: A Middle East Strategy for the Next President, experts from the Council on Foreign Relations and the Saban Center at the Brookings Institution propose a new, nonpartisan Middle East strategy drawing on the lessons of past failures to address both the short-term and long-term challenges to U.S. interests.
