FILE - In this July 22, 2010 file photo, Umm Haider weeps over the coffin containing the body of her son, Ameer Hussein, 9, during his funeral in Najaf, south of Baghdad, Iraq. As the U.S. winds up combat operations in Iraq this month, a gap is widening between the militaries of both countries and their political masters over whether American soldiers should stay beyond the 2011 deadline for all of them to withdraw. It's the latest potential standoff as the uneasy allies each try to end the seven-year U.S. war without unraveling Iraq's still-precarious security. (AP Photo/Alaa al-Marjani, File)
