After the Iraqi cabinet voted in approval, Iraq’s Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker met in Baghdad to sign the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA).
Both diplomats hailed the event as a “historic” one — not an overstatement as their meeting was the fruit of many months of deliberations and negotiations.

The question of the week!
In a way, over time, we and the other Iraqis have killed him in the way he hates most, by making him totally irrelevant. For people like him, that’s a fate worse than death.
