Excerpt Following is an excerpt of Spiegel's interview with al- Maliki as translated by Bloomberg News. Spiegel editors Mathias Mueller von Blumencron and Bernhard Zand conducted the interview in Baghdad, the magazine said. It didn't specify when the interview took place, or in what language. Spiegel: When will the majority of U.S. troops finally leave Iraq? Maliki: As far as we're concerned, as soon as possible. U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks of 16 months. That, we think, would be the correct period of time for the withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes. Spiegel: Is that an endorsement for the U.S. presidential election in November? Does Obama, a civilian, understand Iraq better than his rival John McCain, a war hero, at the end of the day? Maliki: Whoever bargains on short-term time limits is closer to the reality. Artificially extending the time that U.S. troops stay would cause problems. That being said, of course I don't want to give any endorsement. Electing a president is something Americans themselves have to do. The job of Iraqis is to say what we want. And here the people and the government are in agreement. Coalition troops should be in Iraq for a limited time.
