WASHINGTON, July 9 (UPI) -- The major party presidential candidates are fine-tuning their plans to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, their campaigns say, now that Baghdad wants a timetable.
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., says he wants U.S. combat troops pulled out of Iraq "carefully," while Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is rethinking his position on timetables after the U.S.-backed Iraqi leadership made such a request part of a security agreement, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
