BAGHDAD, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Iraqi President Jalal Talabani is urging U.S. President George Bush to accept the Iraqi amendments to an accord on future U.S. troop presence in Iraq.
Talabani said U.S. approval of the amendments to the "status of forces" agreement was needed so Iraqi lawmakers could "present it to the people with their heads high," the Kuwaiti news service KUNA reported.
