In the Independent, Patrick Cockburn reports that the US and Iraq have finally reached an agreement that will see american troops remain in Iraq until 2011. Cockburn describes it as a vindication of Barack Obama's position, although Obama wanted the the troops out early in 2010.
It's been clear for a long time that British troops have to stay in Iraq at least until the US position has been sorted out. Can Britain now begin a withdrawal - or will troops be kept in Iraq to forestall the promised Iraq inquiry?
