US Withdrawal in Sight for Iraq
Editorial, El Sabaah | August 13, 2008
Baghdad and Washington have set a tentative time limit for the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq in 2010-2011. ++ Both sides agreed to uphold a "declaration of intent," which was signed last year. ++ Tensions are high over the new election law, as voting is expected to redistribute power in Iraq's provinces. ++ If the legislation is belated, it would mean postponing elections until next year. ++ Iraq wants to start new relationships, especially in the region, which will be made by cooperation and non-interference in the internal affairs of others.
