Rice in Iraq to Press Squabbling Leaders
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Frustrated by Iraq's failure to form a government, the chief U.S. and British diplomats told squabbling leaders on Sunday that it is time to pick a governing coalition.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was careful to say the U.S. did not want to interfere in the democratic process, yet harped on Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari's failure to organize a unity government. President Bush has made known his opposition to a second term for al-Jaafari, and Shiite politicians are going public with demands that he withdraw as a nominee.

Diverting from a trip to England, Rice joined British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw on an unannounced visit intended to send the signal that international patience has worn thin with the stalemate among Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds since December's elections.
