Cheney brokers U.S.-Iraq deal to outlast Bush

Vice President Cheney has just made a deal that will outlast Bush's terms in the whitehouse with Iraq. Topics ranged from security in Iraq to Iran's rising influence in Mideast, but a key item was about crafting a long-term agreement between the U.S. and Iraq, plus a narrower deal to define the legal basis for continued U.S. troop presence. This is very interesting because it will be fun to see how the new president in 2008 will handle it.
