One week left for ALL US troops to get out of EVERY Iraqi city

Does anyone believe the Obama Administration will live up to the signed committment to do that very thing? Will the USA be shown for the bold faced LIAR it has been in the past? Our government signed an agreement. IMO it is another moral question, Is the USA trustworthy or is it a nation of LIARS?

It's off-limits to the troops.

so it remains to be seen how it plays out, I guess. Seems to have widespread support, with the exception of the Kurds, in the government.

The new governor of the Mosul area told the AP on Monday that the departure of U.S. troops from the city will actually reduce violence, since much of it is directed at the Americans.

"A U.S. withdrawal will reduce the number of targets," Gov. Atheel al-Nujaifi said. "We believe it's important for U.S. troops to stay in camps outside the cities to provide help only if needed."

The requirement to leave the cities applies only to combat troops and not to trainers, advisers and others in noncombat roles. The agreement does not preclude combat soldiers from patrolling in Baghdad, Mosul and other cities from bases outside the city limits.

But prominent Shiite lawmaker Abbas al-Bayati said extending the June 30 deadline would "send the wrong signal to the Iraqi people" that the Americans might remain in the country indefinitely.

"Thus both sides must stand together to fulfill the withdrawal timetable," he said.

U.S. combat troops largely pulled out of many cities in 2005 and 2006 but returned a year later as part of the U.S. troop surge that was designed to protect civilians from Shiite and Sunni extremists living in their neighborhoods.

This time, U.S. and Iraqi officials are gambling that Iraqi security forces are better trained and equipped to prevent the return of extremists than they were years ago.

That's more than just a week, unless I spaced out a month somewhere.
