U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (L) and Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari (R) hold a joint news conference in the heavy fortified Green Zone in Baghdad August 21, 2008. The United States and Iraq are close to a deal extending the presence of U.S. troops beyond 2008, but any timetable for their withdrawal must be "feasible", Rice said on Thursday.
