This is Reuters (yes, I know):

“Although the concluding statement recognised resistance as a legitimate right of the people against occupiers, participants differed on their definition of resistance, a controversy that continued throughout the three-day conference.”

. . . .

“In the end, all participants agreed to request the withdrawal of foreign forces according to a timetable conditional on the building of an Iraqi armed force that was well trained and sufficiently equipped to protect the country, control the security situation and end terrorism.”

Everyone is coming away from this thing with a different definition of what was agreed. Typical political maneuvering, which is even more pronounced in some regions of the world. They are trying to come up with a political arrangement of reconciliation.

They may have disagreed on their definition of resistance, but they didn't on their definition of terrorism. Which is more important?
