Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said Thursday his country could send U.S.-led troops home in two to three years, once Iraq has set up its own domestic security forces. «Two to three years are needed to build our security forces and say goodbye to our friends,» Talabani said at a conference in Paris. Talabani was in France for a six-day visit that was to include talks with President Jacques Chirac later Thursday. Talabani was likely to push for closer ties with France. In Baghdad on Thursday, the Interior Ministry announced that at least 119 Iraqi policemen were killed in shootings, abductions and bomb attacks last month.
