WASHINGTON - Appearing together in solidarity, Republican John McCain and Iraq's president said yesterday that the war-ravaged country is making significant but fragile progress.
McCain expressed confidence about prospects for the two countries completing a complex agreement that would keep US troops in Iraq after a UN mandate expires at year-end.
"We both agree that the progress has been significant but the progress is also fragile. And there's a lot of work that needs to be done," McCain said at the end of a meeting with Jalal Talabani.
