Iraqi President Frustrated With Coalition Forces

In an interview with Fox News, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said American military commanders agree to give Iraqi forces a larger role in defending their country, but do not follow up with action.

Talabani said Iraqi leaders have repeatedly asked coalition forces to concentrate their efforts on protecting key infrastructure, such as oil pipelines and water pumping stations. Iraq produces fewer than one million barrels of oil per day, a fraction of its potential.
