WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. officials are exploring ways to
persuade Spain to keep its troops in Iraq, including the possibility
of a separate United Nations command to oversee international
forces.
Under that scenario, the U.S. military would continue to
lead its own soldiers, while troops from Spain and other countries
could be led by the United Nations, a State Department official
said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
