CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama called Monday for U.S. troops 
to start leaving Iraq in 2007, arguing that the threat of an American 
pullout is the best leverage Washington has left in the conflict.

"The time for waiting in Iraq is over. It is time to change our policy," 
said Obama, a freshman Democrat from Illinois touted as a possible national 
candidate in 2008.
