Iraqi Cabinet Approves SOF Pact

So, now the status of forces agreement goes to the Iraqi Parliament.

Changes demanded by the Iraqi government and accepted by Bush and His Evil Minions^™:

• Requiring the U.S. to get Iraqi consent before searching homes.
• Giving Iraqis authority over the international zone that houses the centers of American power in Baghdad.
• Enabling Iraqis to search U.S. cargo.
• Prohibiting Americans from conducting raids in other countries from Iraqi soil.
• Eliminating the judicial immunity that applies to foreign contractors and to a lesser degree that of U.S. soldiers working in Iraq under the occupation's current mandate.
• A time line for leaving the country.
  

Basically, the Iraqis knew that Bush had to have this agreement, and so demanded, and got what they wanted.
