A majority of Iraqi lawmakers have approved a draft bill calling for a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops and a freeze on current troop levels. The measure would require Iraqi leaders to seek parliamentary approval for any extension of foreign troops when the U.N. mandate expires this year. At least 138 of Iraq’s 275-member Parliament have signed on.
