Iraq gives final go-ahead for US withdrawal

Thursday 4th December, 2008

A security pact with the United States that paves the way for a complete US troop pullout, has been approved by Iraq's Presidency Council.

Under the agreement, the US military presence that has lasted since the 2003 invasion, should all be finished by the end of 2011.

Iraq's three-member Presidency Council, which includes President Jalal Talabani and his two Vice-Presidents endorsed the security pact with the United States, ensuring no further intervention by Parliament.

The pact will be put to a public referendum next year.

The longer-term agreement defines cultural, economic and security ties between the two countries.

comments on the "Triko State"

The threat to the region is this violent tit for tat mentality that seems to rule ALL parties. The violence fuels those primative urges in all of us.. this happens on ALL SIDES.. If one side is to claim the higher moral ground.. WELL PRATICE WHAT YOU PREACH.. As far as i can tell all sides are saying POOR ME .. POOR ME and then going and killing someone and saying LOOK WHAT THEY MADE ME DO!.. Children, wakeup and learn to play in this miracle called earth..

Another 700 something days and Iraq is all for Talabani/Malliki/iraqis to rule in 2011. Good news for all.

US Ministry of Truth says continued occupation =equals withdrawal.

All puppets agree and will make another treaty of withdrawal in a couple of years time.

We are PRO-Kurdish Independence, time will come after ObaBush Intimacy-or-Sparsity policy gone. American Republican’s PRO-Kurdish Independence means Democray Freedom to ALL Kurds, Kurdish Sovereignty on Northern Iraq’s oil fields; Kurds appreciate American Republican’s liberation, Thank You for U.S. military liberation to Kurdish Democracy Freedom. Promised that Kurdish Independence will PRO-American, WON’T be a U.N. member-nation, WON’T join NATO or Russian Commonwealth. Kurds greet “GOD BLESS AMERICA” !!

What Iraq agreement?

Every one is celebrating, and I don’t know why. We still have to wait for ratification of this agreement by referendum of the Iraqi people, surprise, surprise, no one knows the out come yet, unless we are going to send them voting machines from the Bush election era, than that’s different. Either way, trust me when I tell you, that Iraq is no more, South will be ruled by Iran 100%, North by Iran & Turkey, and in the middle will be left the starving Sunnies. Objective accomplished for Iran to get closer to Israel and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Amman, and oh I forgot, the 40% of the world oil. Now we can all shout “mission accomplished”.
