Iraq's Sunnis rejoin government

As with everything else in Iraq, I'm sure that this is not quite as politically clean as the headline, Iraq’s Sunni Bloc Rejoins Government, but definitely a good step.

Also, the agreement from the Bush administration for a "general time horizon" for withdrawal in Iraq is broadlyly being reported as a timeline. Whether it is a hard timeline or not, it does represent a fundamental shift in intent in the SoFA negotiations from permanent bases and complete immunity to a general tone of withdrawal and Iraqi sovereignty.
