Well, so much for "we'll leave if they ask us, but they won't ask us"

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S.-British blueprint for Iraq now before the U.N. Security Council was met Tuesday with concerns from other governments and even the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council, whose chairman said the proposal fell short by not granting greater control over Iraq's own security forces.

"We found it less than our expectations,” Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer told reporters after a meeting of the council. “We as Iraqis see the necessity of the presence of (outside) forces,” he added. “But in the period to come we want to have the right to ask that these forces leave."
