US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held a press conference in Baghdad following an unannounced visit for talks with the Iraqi leadership. Rice insisted the protracted negotiations to secure a mandate beyond 2008 were not a sign of a "bad situation". Earlier, Rice said the two sides were very close to finalising a deal. Iraqi officials have previously said they want a new agreement to include a deadline for US forces to withdraw from the country and an end to the immunity of US troops from Iraqi law.
