Aircraft cleared into position runway 13L at dal. As aircraft aligned with centerline, tower controller instructed to immediately vacate runway. Reporter states that, because another aircraft had pulled up to the hold short line, he was unable to completely clear runway environment. Reporter states controller then cleared aircraft on short final to land if able. Aircraft executed go around.

Narrative:
Our aircraft (LR60) was cleared into position and hold on runway 13L at dal, and advised to be ready for immediate takeoff. Once positioned on the runway we were told to exit the runway immediately. As we exited we did a 180 degree turn only to discover an aircraft had pulled right up to the hold short line and blocked our path. At that time we noticed an air carrier B737 at approximately 1500-2000 ft AGL and 1 mi final. The aircraft was not descending and wasn't talking to tower. Tower cleared the aircraft to land if able from that position with our aircraft not completely clear of the runway. The aircraft continued overhead remaining at altitude and not talking to tower. We were then reclred for takeoff. In addition the tower controller had a speech impediment which made his calls very slow, which was a problem at such a peak traffic time.

Title: ACFT CLRED INTO POS RWY 13L AT DAL. AS ACFT ALIGNED WITH CTRLINE, TWR CTLR INSTRUCTED TO IMMEDIATELY VACATE RWY. RPTR STATES THAT, BECAUSE ANOTHER ACFT HAD PULLED UP TO THE HOLD SHORT LINE, HE WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETELY CLR RWY ENVIRONMENT. RPTR STATES CTLR THEN CLRED ACFT ON SHORT FINAL TO LAND IF ABLE. ACFT EXECUTED GAR.
Narrative: OUR ACFT (LR60) WAS CLRED INTO POS AND HOLD ON RWY 13L AT DAL, AND ADVISED TO BE READY FOR IMMEDIATE TKOF. ONCE POSITIONED ON THE RWY WE WERE TOLD TO EXIT THE RWY IMMEDIATELY. AS WE EXITED WE DID A 180 DEG TURN ONLY TO DISCOVER AN ACFT HAD PULLED RIGHT UP TO THE HOLD SHORT LINE AND BLOCKED OUR PATH. AT THAT TIME WE NOTICED AN ACR B737 AT APPROX 1500-2000 FT AGL AND 1 MI FINAL. THE ACFT WAS NOT DSNDING AND WASN'T TALKING TO TWR. TWR CLRED THE ACFT TO LAND IF ABLE FROM THAT POS WITH OUR ACFT NOT COMPLETELY CLR OF THE RWY. THE ACFT CONTINUED OVERHEAD REMAINING AT ALT AND NOT TALKING TO TWR. WE WERE THEN RECLRED FOR TKOF. IN ADDITION THE TWR CTLR HAD A SPEECH IMPEDIMENT WHICH MADE HIS CALLS VERY SLOW, WHICH WAS A PROB AT SUCH A PEAK TFC TIME.
