Let It Be Known: Bush, Not Obama, Secured Iraq Withdrawal

I just want this to be crystal clear, because number 2’s will try to give credit to Obama for this. The deal has been in the works for nearly a year now, since Iraq asked the US to stay indefinitely in their country.

clipped from www.cnn.com The security agreement, reached after months of negotiations between Iraqi and U.S. representatives, sets June 30, 2009, as the deadline for U.S. combat troops to withdraw from all Iraqi cities and towns. The date for all U.S. troops to leave Iraq would be December 31, 2011. It would replace a U.N. resolution expiring at year’s end that sets out the role of U.S. and allied troops in Iraq. The Iraqi government approved the pact Sunday, and now the measure is under debate in parliament, where there has been overheated discussion between proponents and opponents. A vote is expected next week.
