Iraq's Cabinet approves U.S. security pact

Interesting.  Perhaps US troops will finally start to withdraw from Iraq.

[quote] BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN)  – The Iraqi Cabinet on Sunday approved a security pact that would set the terms for U.S. troops in Iraq.

The agreement sets June 30, 2009, as the deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from all Iraqi cities and towns, Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said.

The date for all troops to leave Iraq will be December 31, 2011, he said.

These dates are “set and fixed” and are “not subject to the circumstances on the ground,” he said.[/quote]
