Kaz,

I haven't seen any agreement of when the US will leave Iraq, the Iraqis have for years been trying to get them to agree on withdrawal and the Iraqi public have been wanting it since day one. There are agreements on when the the US will withdraw a large proportion of their army but not completely (which is what the majority of the Iraqi and American people want and if democracy mattered it would've happened years ago).

To say the US didn't go in for any other reason other than control of black gold is ignorant. Your reason doesn't hold up to scrunity and no offense but quite laughable.

There is an agreement on when they'll leave US.  They signed the agreement right before the US elections took place.  The troops are all supposed to be out by 2012.

That article doesn't prove your point at all. If anything it's vague and lacks specifics. Not surprising as it's dated 2008 when Bush was still in power. There is no way the US will withdraw completely, they never do unless comprehensively defeated on the political front  by way of mass protests etc (Vietnam) as militarily the're pretty much unstoppable (within reason).

There are actual later articles.  It was just the first one i could find.  There is an agreeement in place though.  If you don't want to believe it because of your own biases i cant help you.
