Iraqi Forces To Fully Control Security By Year-End - Talabani
(KUNA)
IRBIL, May 20 (KUNA) — Iraqi President Jalal Talabani predicted here Tuesday that Iraqi security forces would be able to fully control the security situation in the country by the end of this year.
Talabani was speaking to reporters at Al-Sulaymaniyah airport in north Iraq.
Iraqi security forces have managed to strengthen and boost their combat capabilities, he said.
Asked about a planned visit to the US, the Iraqi leader said he would be unable to visit the US for the time being.
On the coming Kurdistan government makeup, he said it would need enough time to reach a final makeup, but vowed that it would be ready shortly.

Here’s a news flash for the DNC, dem senators, congressmen, code stink, Keith Olberman, et al.: the US won the Iraq War. Things are moving along to “conclusion.” We just aren’t telegraphing it to our enemies. Get it?
