BAGHDAD, July 8 -- <A target="" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/countries/iraq.html?nav=el">Iraq's</A> national security adviser said Tuesday that his government would not sign an agreement governing the future role of U.S. troops in Iraq unless it includes a timetable for their withdrawal.

The statement was the strongest demand yet by a senior Iraqi official for the two governments to set specific dates for the departure of U.S. forces. Speaking to reporters in the Shiite holy city of Najaf, National Security Adviser <A target="" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Mouwaffak+al-Rubaie?tid=informline">Mowaffak al-Rubaie</A> said his government was "impatiently waiting" for the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops.

"We would not accept any memorandum of understanding with [the U.S.] side that has no obvious and specific dates for the foreign troops' withdrawal from Iraq," Rubaie said.
