Iraq and US Negotiators Complete Draft Security Agreement

HeadlineAug 21, 2008

Iraqi and US negotiators have reportedly completed a draft security agreement that would allow US troops to stay in Iraq after the United Nations mandate expires in December. Under the deal, the US would reduce its presence in Iraq by pulling its troops from Iraqi cities by mid-2009. But the draft reportedly does not set an overall timetable for withdrawal of US forces, and it is unclear if US troops will become subject to Iraqi law. Earlier today, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in Baghdad for an unannounced visit.
