Democrats in 08: We'll be greeted as liberators
Another bit of potentially nasty revisionism going on in Tom Friedman's column is the description of the Status of Forces Agreement between the U.S. and Iraq as a "treaty." Although it has been ratified by the Iraqi Parliament, the pact was not -- and apparently will never be -- submitted to the Senate for the approval treaties are required to obtain per the U.S. Constitution. Thus, calling the pact a treaty is a stretch at best, dangerous revisionism at worst.
