The timeline will be UN approved. Amnesty will be extended to those who have killed foreign troops but not Iraqis-"For those that defended their country against foreign troops, we need to open a new page . . .

This could be spectacularly good news.

Ceasefires with this type of group are historically and notoriously unlikely to work well. So I won't hold my breath on this, but we can all pray for this plan to work!

The only thing that I don't see addressed here is how Iraq is expected to defend itself from its neighbors with no heavy military equipment to speak of.

So I guess untill we withdraw, we'll just be targets?

I think the idea would be that once they agree to stop blowing things up, we'd immediately stop our appropriately aggressive offense against their strongholds.
