Iraqis request pullout, declare attacks on troops fair game.

In January, Bush said he'd withdraw troops if Iraqi leaders requested. On Monday they did. But they went one step further: they called for a timetable for a pullout and declared a "legitimate right" of resistance." That is, attacks on US troops are fair game, but attacks on Iraqi civilians will still be considered terrorist acts.
