A deal governing the long-term presence of US troops in Iraq beyond the end of 2008 is more or less done, and any changes would be merely fine-tuning, the White House said Wednesday….
The draft deal calls for a withdrawal of US combat forces from Iraq by the end of 2011 and includes US concessions on jurisdiction over its troops accused of “serious crimes” while off duty or off base.
So… I guess that is settled.
Take one more reason to vote Obama off the list…

Frankly because on this issue I trust Bush more than I do Obama. There, I said it.
Now I need to go shower after saying that.
