WASHINGTON - Iraqi leaders should agree in the next few days on filling key
security posts for the government, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday,

"Of course, they need to get this settled, but they will get it settled," said Rice,
predicting it will be in the next week. "The more important thing here is that they
get it right. When they get it right, and they will get it right, everybody will forget
how long it took them."
