Good news finally about Iraq!

Good news finally indeed. Headline reads: "U.S. and Iraqi negotiators have abandoned efforts to conclude a comprehensive agreement governing the long-term status of U.S troops in Iraq before the end of the Bush presidency."

News report today from the Washington Post give us hope that we can finally allow Iraq to be a sovereign country as the deal for a presence in Iraq will be left to the next President, hopefully Barack Obama.

To further quote the article, "Unlike the status-of-forces agreements between the United States and countries such as South Korea and Japan, where large numbers of U.S. troops have been based for decades, the document now under discussion with Iraq is likely to cover only 2009. Negotiators expect it to include a 'time horizon,' with specific goals for U.S. troop withdrawal from Baghdad and other cities and installations such as the former Saddam Hussein palace that now houses the U.S. Embassy."

Finally something to be very happy about! Bush finally loses one.
