Newsdesk,
September 23 ,-- Iraqi President Jalal Talabani
yesterday urged Iraq's neighbors to prevent
cross-border infiltrations by militants.
Talabani told the UN General Assembly that Iraqis
are losing their patience with the amount of death
and destruction in their country.
He said terrorist operations are aimed at ruining
efforts to rebuild the country and placing it "on
the path of peace, security and democracy."
Talabani also said that his government will not talk
about a timetable for withdrawing U.S.-led forces
until Iraqi forces are capable of ensuring stability
and security in the country themselves.
"The process of building the national Iraqi armed
forces up to the [country's] ambitions is continuing
with great perseverance so that our forces have the
necessary capacity and ability to gradually end the
presence of multinational forces in the country," he
said. |

"Those [multinational] forces are there according to
an international decision and are important for us
in the present circumstances until we finish
building our armed forces that are capable of ending
terrorism and protecting peace and stability. Only
then can we talk about a timetable for withdrawing
the multinational forces from Iraq."
Talabani's remarks come a day after officials from
Iraq, Egypt, Kuwait, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey
met on the sidelines of the General Assembly to
discuss the security situation in Iraq and its
affect on regional stability.
