Bush Administration Signs Iraq Pull Out Deal - Agrees To Lose In 2011

So according to the rhetoric of the right wing, Bush plans to lose the war in Iraq by 2011! That is if the deal Secretary of State Rice signed this week goes through. The "aspirational time horizon", (that's double-speak for timetable for withdrawal) was part of a new security agreement is far later than initially wanted by the Iraqi government.

Without a formal, bilateral agreement, there is no international legal basis for U.S. forces to remain in Iraq.
