BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi Prime Minister Prime Nuri al-Maliki said on Monday that an agreement had been reached in negotiations on a security pact with the United States to end any foreign military presence in Iraq by the end of 2011.

"There is an agreement actually reached, reached between the two parties on a fixed date which is the end of 2011 to end any foreign presence on Iraqi soil," Maliki said in a speech to tribal leaders in the Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone.

"Yes, there is major progress on the issue of the negotiations on the security deal," Maliki said.

I suspect it will actually come much sooner but that the withdraw will NOT be 100%.

"I sense a disturbance in the force.  As if millions of DUmmy voices cried out for teh Obamessiah to extricate them from this unjust, illegal war, and were suddenly silenced when their "issue" was taken away from them by Lord Rove and Darth Cheney."

Just waiting for the moonbats to start coming out of the woodwork, screaming about Rethug plots on the eve of teh Obamessiah's convention.
