Abstract
- The author focuses on the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) negotiated by former U.S. President George W. Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in November 2008 which would provide legal authority for U.S. troops to stay in Iraq until 2011. The author cites the failure of al-Maliki to meet the deadline for the conditions for SOFA, including a national referendum that should be held before the end of July 2009. The author claims that al-Maliki is using the SOFA referendum to ensure his victory in the January 2010 elections.
