Iraq to buy 30 US F-16 fighter jets amid troop stay debate
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki revived a plan to purchase 36 F 16 fighters with American trainers to operate them. He avoided clarifying whether trainers would be active duty or contractors as Iraq debates whether U S troops should stay past year end. The move shifts from a prior plan to spend on food rations and comes as Iraq’s leaders clash over extending a remaining U S troop presence under a 2008 withdrawal deadline.
