When pulling out of Iraq is no longer a story....

In an interview with the British Times, Iraqi Foreign Minister, Hoshyar Zebari, says that the US-Iraq SoFA is already written.

After five months of sometimes heated debate, the technical part of the job – drawing up a legally sound document that contains various compromises and is written in the right language – is over.

According to Zebari, the agreement is that US soldiers will withdraw from Iraqi cities by next summer and all combat troops will leave Iraq within three years "provided the violence remains low."

Additionally, all US military missions would have to be approved by a joint US-Iraqi command.

(And he says it's going to the Iraqi Parliament for a vote. (??))
