Two Iraqi officials say the U.S. and Iraq are close to a deal under which all American combat troops would leave by October 2010 with remaining U.S. forces gone about three years later.

Almost exactly 16 months after the next President takes the oath of office. Obama, now you need to start talking about a balanced budget, reduced trade deficit, and national health care. And oh, yeah--could you throw in 20 paid vacation days per year, like them Yerpeens get?

20 paid vacation days? What a piker! Bush has taken over 500 vacation days in the last 7.5 years, including the entire month of August, 2001 (after being warned "Bin Laden determined to attack United States"). 60 paid vacation days per year, that's more like it.

Yes, but the President only makes a $400,000 salary, so the 60-day vacation package reflects that.
