Talking Points Memo describes White House Releases "Principles" for Permanent Iraqi Presence. "After years of obfuscation and denial on the length of the U.S.'s stay in Iraq, the White House and the Maliki government have released a joint declaration of 'principles' for 'friendship and cooperation.' Naturally, the declaration is euphemistic, and doesn't refer explicitly to any U.S. military presence." We're going to defend the unpopular al-Maliki led Shiite government. With troops. Oh and since it's not called a treaty, Congress doesn't have to ratify it. There's more on how Bush is trying to tie the hands of the next administration.
