Iraq's main political leaders but not firebrand Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr agreed Wednesday to work on a roadmap aimed at ending the country's political impasse, after talks called by the premier.They also pledged to keep talking, and urged Sadr to join what Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi called the "national dialogue".Ten months after a general election last October, war-scarred Iraq still has no government, new prime minister or new president, because of disagreement over forming a coalition.
