Perspective on the Iraqi Withdrawal Date

One of the most under-reported stories of the Thanksgiving season was the Iraqi and American governments signing a treaty to authorize American troops in Iraq thru 2009 and setting a withdrawal date in 2010. Charles Krauthammer has up a good analysis of the deal achieved, and what it means for Iraq's government and people. The short version: It shows a much more mature parliament than we expected to ever see in Iraq only a year ago.
