Iraqi Cabinet approves security pact with US
Iraq's Cabinet on Sunday approved a security pact with the United States that will allow American forces to stay in Iraq for three years after their UN mandate expires at the end of the year, the government said.
So do Iraqis: ``Declaring that there will not be 'another colonization of Iraq,' Iraq's foreign minister raised the possibility on Wednesday that a full security agreement with the United States might not be reached this year, and that if one was, it would be a short-term pact.''
