Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Thursday finally got the broad consensus he sought on the Status of Forces Agreement with the U.S. - 149 of the 198 lawmakers present in the 275-member National Assembly gave their support to a deal that allows American forces to remain in Iraq until the end of 2011.

Now maybe W's Administration will publish the official English version so we can all learn what we're now committed to!

p.s. "Ask and you shall receive."
Here's a link to the text: Iraq SOFA
