US Agrees to Pull Troops Out of Iraq

THE AUSTRALIAN: NEGOTIATORS have finalised a deal which will see the complete withdrawal of US troops from Iraq by 2011, the top Iraqi heading the team said today.

The agreement has already been approved by US President George W. Bush and now needs to be endorsed by Iraqi leaders, he added.
