  3. BAGHDAD -- The U.S. notified Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki it has accepted many of the changes proposed last week by the Iraqi cabinet in a draft security agreement between the two countries. Because of the largely positive response from the U.S. on Thursday, Iraqi officials say they are warming to a resolution. But the two sides have appeared close to a deal before, only to face further setbacks. Iraq's cabinet plans to meet Sunday to discuss the pact, which is needed to replace a United Nations mandate that expires at the end of this year. If Iraqi ministers approve the deal, parliament could take it up next week. http//s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OB-CQ176_iraq_1_D_20081106144028.jpg[/img]"]http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OB-CQ176_iraq_1_D_20081106144028.jpg Associated Press Iraqi national police officers parade during a graduation ceremony in Baghdad, Iraq, on Nov. 6, 2008.

An Iraqi official in the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq, the largest Shiite political party, whose support is key to sealing an agreement, said a deal is closer than ever before. Time is running out to conclude the pact. Because of major Muslim holidays in December, Iraqi lawmakers would need to approve a deal by the end of this month, although parliament could delay its break by holding emergency sessions. The main points of the deal don't change under the accepted amendments by the U.S. The draft agreement still contains clauses saying U.S. troops would leave Iraq by the end of 2011, and American soldiers would leave cities by the end of June 2009. The pact also still states that U.S. soldiers who commit certain violent crimes while off base and off duty could be prosecuted in Iraqi courts. The U.S. agreed to changes aimed at giving Iraqi officials political cover, according to people familiar with the matter. For example, the U.S. agreed to delete a paragraph that said the Iraqi government could ask U.S. troops to stay beyond 2011 to train and support Iraqi forces. That clause had caused confusion and protest among some Iraqi officials, who saw it as a way for the U.S. troops to stay permanently. Even without the clause, the Iraqi government could still request U.S. training and support, and likely will do so. The U.S. refused an Iraqi request to allow Baghdad to decide when troops should be considered off duty when determining whether they could be prosecuted in Iraqi courts. The issue of legal jurisdiction over U.S. soldiers has been one of the most contentious issues. Washington also rejected a proposal giving Iraq the right to inspect all U.S. shipments coming into the country, although it said Iraq could request to examine shipments. The Iraqi side had requested more than 100 changes, most of them minor and cosmetic in nature. Substantive requests from the Iraqi government were aimed at silencing critics of the deal, who have charged the security pact could be a way for the U.S. military to stay in Iraq indefinitely. Iran has also put pressure on Iraqi officials to reject the agreement, saying it could be used by the U.S. to stage attacks in the region

  13. in a presidential election its easy to only concentrate on issues that we see on a day to day basis. Personally i have maintainted that presidential elections dont have much impact on us locally as the non-presidental elections do( state and county represenativites) Setting that aside, the global impact this election will have is easy to forget...so i found this interesteing http://english.aljazeera.net/focus/uselections2008/2008/11/200811271047800699.htmlsting look at all the other nations taht depend on. not just the ones we are waring in, but the international community as a whole. its crazy to think about.

  21. <OCTOBER 30, 2008 Gap Narrows in Florida and Ohio, Not Pennsylvania By SARA MUR New polling suggests the presidential race is tightening in the battleground states of Ohio and Florida, though not in Pennsylvania, where Sen. John McCain is fighting to flip a big swing state into his column. http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/P1-AN477_McCain_D_20081029183947.jpg Associated Press Sen. John McCain gestures while addressing supporters during a campaign rally in Miami, Fla. Polls, Maps, Graphics Graphic: The Campaigns' Travels</SPAN> Latest WSJ/NBC poll -- Data drilldown</SPAN> National and battleground poll trends</SPAN> Electoral Calculator & Map</SPAN> Campaign Ads</SPAN> See reports from Washington and the campaign trail, at washwire.com.</SPAN> Sen. McCain now is within striking distance in Florida, where Sen. Barack Obama leads 47% to 45%, a new poll by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute finds. Less than a week ago, Sen. Obama led by five percentage points there. (See the Qunnipiac poll.) In Ohio, considered a Republican must-win, Sen. Obama still has a comfortable lead of 51% to 42%, Quinnipiac found. The good news for Sen. McCain is he appears to be closing the gap there; last week, Sen. Obama led by 14 points. http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/NA-AT559_SWING_NS_20081029201218.gif In Pennsylvania, though, the news for Sen. McCain is gloomier. There, a new Quinnipiac survey finds that the race stands at 53% to 41% for Sen. Obama, almost unchanged from last week. Sen. McCain has been pushing hard for the state's 21 electoral votes with both campaign stops and advertising dollars. The polls, conducted Oct. 22-26, have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6-2.7 percentage points. In Florida, "McCain is rolling up a large margin...among non-college-educated whites," said Peter Brown, the assistant director of Quinnipiac's polling institute. "If McCain is going to make a comeback, he has to basically drive up margins in Ohio and Pennsylvania, as he has in Florida, among those voters." With less than a week left until Election Day, the new surveys suggest a possible tightening of the race. For its part, the McCain campaign says it is optimistic about its swing-state performance. In a memo to the campaign Tuesday, lead pollster Bill McInturff wrote, "The campaign is functionally tied across the battleground states...with our numbers IMPROVING sharply." Still, the surveys also show how daunting the task remains for Sen. McCain. Other polling in crucial states also points to Obama advantages. New polls from the Associated Press, for example, show Sen. Obama leading by two points in Florida, seven points in Ohio and 12 points in Pennsylvania. Those polls have a four-point margin of error. http://wsj.vo.llnwd.net/o28/video/20081029/102908brown/102908brown_115x65.jpg Battlegrounds Test Obama, McCain 3:00 Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain are racing for control of battleground states Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. Peter Brown of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute discusses the latest polls. (Oct. 29) A Marist College Institute for Public Opinion poll shows a closer race in Ohio, with Sen. Obama leading 48% to 45% among likely voters -- within the 3.5-percentage-point margin of error. Sen. McCain also has a problem on his hands in other hard-fought states, most notably Virginia. The AP's survey shows Sen. Obama leading 49% to 42% in the commonwealth, a traditional Republican stronghold in presidential elections. It would be difficult for Sen. McCain to win without both Florida and Ohio. He also may need to pick up either Pennsylvania or Virginia to offset losses in smaller, traditionally Republican states. If Sen. Obama turns some of those smaller states to his favor, victories in Ohio and Florida by Sen. McCain probably won't be enough to get him to the 270 electoral votes needed to win. That's why the Republican senator and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, have been making an intense push in the Keystone State. They also have increased their television ads in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The McCain campaign was directing roughly 78% of its TV ads to those three states as of Monday, according to Nielsen Co. For Sen. Obama, one cautionary note comes from analysts who say he can't consider states safe unless he's above the 50% mark in pre-election polling, because it's unclear how many undecided voters will break his way on Nov. 4. "Historically, the undecided break against the party in power," Mr. Brown said, but "Sen. Obama is relatively new to the political landscape. There are people who question his experience."
