BBC News: Reports on Agreement between the USA and Iraq for the USA to leave Iraq in 2011. As the USA and the UK are in a recession, any long term plans to stay in Iraq are out of the window. The New Obama Administration has a plan to leave Iraq within sixteen months if conditions stay as they are, Iraq taking over responsibility for her own security. Thus this new agreement will help the new Administration, as they can keep their promise to get most US troops out of Iraq, while keeping forces to fight the terrorists. Iraq now has a timetable, it has not choice it will have to take responsibility for its own security and fund its own security. Lets hope the Iraqi government can stand up to Iran. Also lets hope that after the West has left Iraq that a Civil War does not develop, as present Western economic crisis would be nothing if Iran moves in to Iraq and turns the screw on the West when it comes to oil.
