Iraqi lawmakers push for U.S. withdrawal

Speaking of last Friday... On May 11, 2007 this story (by Joshua Partlow, Washington Post) was published in the San Francisco Chronicle:

Iraqi lawmakers push for U.S. withdrawal, Moves in parliament echo U.S. Congress' efforts to limit Bush

Here's a snippet:

A majority of Iraq's parliament has signed a proposed bill that would require a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. soldiers from Iraq and freeze current troop levels, a sign of a growing division between Iraqi legislators and the prime minister that mirrors the widening gulf between the Bush administration and its critics in Congress.

The draft bill would create a timeline for a gradual departure, much like what some Democrats in the United States have demanded, and require the Iraqi government to secure parliament's approval before any further extensions of the U.N. mandate for foreign troops in Iraq, which expires at the end of 2007.

Okay, why was this not headline news on CNN.com? Oh, yeah...
