Clashes Expected on Iraq Troop Deal

By TheRealNews.com
November 20, 2008

The Iraqi government has agreed to show the American troops the door by the end of 2011, a plan that has some support and some opposition among Iraqis who differ over how fast the U.S. should leave.

Hundreds of Iraqis took to the streets on Wednesday in support of the Iraq-U.S. “status of forces agreement,” which still needs approval from the Iraqi parliament.

(The story summary continues below.)

McClatchy Baghdad bureau chief Leila Fadel foresees "a lot of bitter battles once this agreement is put into place. "
