The Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) recently signed by the Iraqi government and Bushit Assministration requires the total withdrawal of U.S. forces by the end of 2011, regardless of "conditions on the ground." The "white flag of surrender" horsecrap peddled by the Bushies and McSame was Rovian politics all along, designed to stir up the base and divert attention from the fact that the Iraqis wanted our forces out by a specific date.
Oh, and someone in the Obama transition team needs to have a heart-to-heart talk with Bushie Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike "Sullen" Mullen, who wants to fudge the agreement between the U.S. and Iraq and base the withdrawal on neocon "conditions on the ground." Sorry, Admiral Mullen, that decision's above your effing paygrade. Shades of "Seven Days In May."
