| US denies deal to pull troops out of Iraq by 2011 |
| 2008-08-24 |
| The U.S. administration has said details of a security deal with Iraq had yet to be worked out, pouring cold water on assertions by the head of Iraq's negotiating delegation who said a deal has been reached on a timetable for withdrawing American troops by the end of 2011. |

| #1 The Iraqis and the US have probably agreed that if McCain is elected, the SOFA will be very liberal and the US can hang around as long as it likes. But if Obama is elected, the US will leave before inauguration day, with just a skeleton crew and a very large embassy left behind. Air support will be provided from the UAE and Dubai, which is far enough away, and far enough out of mind that Obama's crew has never heard of it, much less cared. |
