An important aspect of this is that Iraq is rejecting any long term agreement.
"""He indicated the memorandum of understanding would be used instead of the formal Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) being negotiated."""
One should also remember that the Iraqi parliament voted in favor of US withdrawal over 18 months ago.

I guess that makes everyone here on prop. advocating that they love us over in Iraq wrong.
So far they are being polite in how they ask us to get the **** out of there, and leave us alone.
How long will it be before some people over here get a clue?

The fact that we have already built 'permanent' bases, are setting up future businesses in the green zone, and gave ourselves no-bid contracts for developing their oil, implies we intend to stay.
If it comes to a point-blank 'get out'?
It has happened before with client-governments. Traditionaly we find a replacement leader who is more friendly.
I don't think that would work in Iraq. Too many of its neighbors would take advantage.
I think we declare victory and leave.

you are dead right, oh wise one. If our puppet shiite starts taking matters into his own hands, overreaching his puppet status, the mighty EXON, child of antitrust STandard Oil billionaire robberbaron Rockefeller, will just have him conviently disposed of, and another more suitable replacement found.
Of course, none of this will hit the zionist american press, there will be several hundred million cash payouts, (less than a half days profits for Exon, which is bigger than all of Saudi Arabia, and Maliki will change his mind just enough to let a hundred thousand troops guard the Exon oil facilities.
Couple hundred million, and most people would change their minds about anything.

Saw this on the BBC a month ago, seems any agreements of troops staying are only in 1 year timetable so that Iraq can renegotiate every year.

And so as it turns out, all the blather about, "We'll stand down when they stand up" was all just a lot of hot air. Screw Iraq sovereignty, we'll leave only when we're good and ready, if ever.
Meanwhile, we don't have the troops to support efforts in Afghanistan where the Taliban have been making gains.

Looks like Iran is acting like a country that is occupied by a foreign entity. They are certainly within their rights to request this.

Oh no, now what? We can't leave until we win. I know, let's start looking for the WMD again. Then we can stay and attack.

They are not requesting we leave, Maliki is asking for more money....its negotiations, and he's found that by asking us to leave publically, Exon will increase the bribes they are paying the shiites and sunis to not destroy the oil fields, and to not kill the oil workers, and to not kill the police that guard the oil workers, and to not kill the maids cleaning the oil workers houses.
Its Payola time. Time to send a couple hundred TONS of cash to Iraq, sooth the raw nerves of the militia extremists, who have suicide psychopaths lined up hundreds deep, waiting their go orders.
No problem, Exon makes about 10 million an hour. Good thing the Exon Valdese verdict was reduced to 50 million, down from half a billion. The former CEO of Exon was paid 350 million just as a retirement gift.
