Iraq transition being considered for new president, says expert

Posted by Staff on July 21, 2008 |

Colin Kahl, a professor at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, explains that there is likely not going to be a long term Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq, or a renewal of the UN mandate. He says that the Iraqi government is “kicking the can down the road” to the next administration to negotiate a long term agreement. Kahl also says that in the last few weeks comments have been made by Nouri al-Maliki’s spokesperson that suggest he’s looking for some definitive sense that the U.S. will make a transition to a new role and substantially reduced presence in Iraq.
