BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The Iraqi Presidency Council approved a resolution Sunday that will allow non-U.S. foreign troops to remain in Iraq after a U.N. mandate expires at year's end.

Also, in other news in this article,

• One of three al Qaeda in Iraq prisoners at large after a Friday jail break in Ramadi was killed in a gun battle with police Saturday, and the remaining two were arrested early Sunday, according to Ramadi police and an Iraqi Interior Ministry official.

I think this should be headline news. I checked to see if CNN and others have the al qeada story as a headline. But all that I have found is this story tucked in a headline story like, 'Iraq prison riot leaves 13 dead', and 'Car Bomb in Baghdad Kills 24'. We really need new people in our media. I swear our enemies run the NY Times, LA Times, CNN, and the like.

This piece of news has just got to make the code pinkos and their libtard friend's heads explode. Saw a post on local newspaper forum yesterday where one of the libtard peaceniks was saying that she certainly hoped the zer0bama would have every last military personnel out of Iraq by Feb '09.

I responded with "zer0bama cannot just have 150,000 jump onto United and AA flights and be here on Feb 28 - they will need months to get the equipment out." The stupidity that accounts for much of this nation is at times just simply overwhelming.

Libtards are in for the surprise of their life if they really, really believe everything this usurper promised them.

You have that right. The best that will come from this is that Obama base may go vote for Nader in the next election.

The problem then becomes the simple minded people in the middle who don't pay that much attention. For instance, I still find people who are surprised to learn that Obozo’s middle name is Hussein.

Oh yeah - not sure if ever saw this one, but it is precious post election.

How Obama Got Elected... Interviews With Obama Voters

Watch for the answer on who is in control of the Congress - hilarious but points out the really really sad state of higher ed in America. The CULT OF OBAMA elected him, with a whole lot of help from ABCCBSNBCCNBCMSBCCNNNPRPBS.
