Pact Approved in Iraq, US Pullout Date Set

This article is about US meetings in Iraq recently. They claim that they have come to an accord, and that the United States will pull out completely from Iraq by 2011. Ironically this happened through a vote, which is strange because people insisted that the people in Iraq were unable to stick up for themselves... hmmm.

Even more ironically to me, the United States has entered these talks when our country is in the middle of a recession, and we most likely are not going to have the funding to stay over there much longer. Why admit that you are running out of money when you can pretend to be a peacemaker?!?!? What a nice farewell present from the Bush administration. Great job guys.

But thats just my opinion...

Many believe, the Iraqi security forces are not ready to protect the country and in fact insurgent forces often pay more than the security forces. My worries are that US withdrawal may lead to yet another power vacum, the kind we say in Afghanistan after the Soviet withdrawal. We all remember who took control of that country dont we?
