| BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: The U.S. withdrawal from Iraq shall take place on its scheduled time, at the end of 2011, according to the Strategic Agreement, signed between the two countries, to be followed by cooperation in the fields of defense and security, the official spokesman for the American Embassy in Baghdad said on Wednesday. "The Strategic Agreement between Iraq and the United States, had reiterated that cooperation would continue after 2011 in the fields of defense and security, but such line would change from a military command into a civilian command after the withdrawal," the Saudi Al-Sharq Al-Awsat (Middle East) Newspaper quoted David Ranz as saying. He said there "is another network of training programs, included in the Strategic Agreement between Iraq and the United States, including a program, to be led by the U.S State Department." "The U.S. forces shall leave Iraq, according to the Security Agreement, as the departure of those forces shall mean that the last soldier under the U.S. Army shall leave Iraq," he said, adding: "naturally thee will be American officers, to work under the command of the U.S. Ambassador in Iraq, the Military Attache or the Security Assistance Office and the Guards, who shall stay in Iraq." |
