Most likely not...The way Obama's been acting (and assuming he doesn't blow the election) the Generals will probably use their doublespeak magic on him ($$, MIC madness) and we'll be in occupation of some form forever. Still strangled and business as usual until the empire falls.

The failure of months of negotiations over the more detailed accord -- blamed on both the Iraqi refusal to accept U.S. terms and the complexity of the task -- deals a blow to the Bush administration's plans to leave in place a formal military architecture in Iraq that could last for years.
