Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari (R) and U.S. ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker (L) attend the signing ceremony of the pact that will let U.S. troops stay in Iraq until 2011 after it was approved by Iraq's cabinet at the Iraqi Foreign Ministry in Baghdad November 17, 2008. The pact, agreed after nearly a year of gruelling negotiations with Washington, must still be approved by the Iraqi parliament, but Zebari said he expected that to happen by the end of the month.
