    BAGHDAD – A draft agreement with the United States requires U.S. troops to leave Iraq by the end of 2011 unless asked to stay, and gives Iraq the right to try them for felonies committed while off duty, Iraq said on Wednesday.

    The long-awaited security deal between Washington and Baghdad is needed to provide a legal basis for U.S. troops to remain in Iraq after a U.N. Security Council resolution expires at the end of this year.

    A final draft of the pact, hammered out over months of negotiations between Washington and Baghdad, has been submitted to Iraqi politicians for approval.

    It had been held up for months by disagreement over the circumstances under which Iraqi courts could try U.S. soldiers and how long they could stay in the country.

    “The withdrawal is to be achieved in three years. In 2011, the government at that time will determine whether it needs a new pact or not, and what type of pact will depend on the challenges it faces,” government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told Reuters.

    On the issue of immunity for U.S. troops, he said: “Inside their bases, they will be under American law. Iraqi judicial law will be implemented in case these forces commit a serious and deliberate felony outside their military bases and when off duty.”

      The American people are getting tired of this unpopular war that from the get go is based on a lie! After we have been over there for almost 5 years we still haven’t found WMD’s in Iraq. I have no doubt that they could have had Weapons of Mass Destruction since the U.S. Government gave them biological weapons during the Iran, Iraq war. I also agree that Saddam Hussan was an evil leader, but what gives us the right to play World Police in monitor all the leaders of the World. There are alot of evil leaders around the World, examples Syria, Libya, Iran, North Korea, Georgia, and almost the entire continent of Africa, China are we going to free the good people of these countries from evil leaders as well! Enough is enough there have always been evil leaders in the World and unfortunately always will be. It’s time to leave Iraq, and put are troops on our border to protect our vanishing sovereignty as a nation. Plus now we are loosing the economic resources to pay for these wars as we are being robbed by the banking industry.
