Last hours SOFA agreement

Although the Green Zone news­pa­per Al-Sabaah reported today that the Amer­i­can forces will start the with­drawal of the troops to their mil­i­tary bases next Feb­ru­ary and the Iraqi gov­ern­ment is wait­ing for the Amer­i­can answer within the next 24 hours, but there are two “unex­pected things popped up today.

The United Iraqi Alliance opin­ion issued by Al-Saghir argues that Iraq needs guar­an­tees from the UN or the Secu­rity Coun­cil to observe the agree­ment with the U.S., espe­cially if the U.S. con­gress is not likely going to adopt this agreement:

There will be another Amer­i­can gov­ern­ment, from the Repub­li­can Party or the Demo­c­ra­tic Party, and the Amer­i­can con­gress will adopt this agree­ment… This agree­ment to be legally adopted by the UN or the Secu­rity Coun­cil to safe­guard or position.…

Sources revealed to Kuwaiti news­pa­per Al-Watan that the nego­ti­a­tions will con­tinue next week and both sides bar­gain on the “last hours” of this year as a dead­line to sign the agreement.
