American soldiers will not remain in Iraq for more than the predetermined year. Ironically enough, the reason we're leaving is that Iraq has refused to give the US legal immunity. The only remaining presence will be at the US Embassy. Link to MSNBC for the whole story. So sorry about the short diary- didn't see this on the Recent List.
8:35 PM PT: Update... Turns out the AP and as such MSNBC seems to be misinformed. State Department denying the AP story.
