For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: the Iraq exit game.
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.
Thoughts? Is this doable? Given the timing of this announcement right before the DNC, who does this help: McCain, or Obama?
