U.S. House: we'll vote on that SOFA

The House of Representatives voted to insist that any U.S.-Iraq security agreement be submitted for congressional approval. According to the Congressional Progressive Caucus:

Today, by bipartisan a vote of 234 to 183, the House adopted Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s amendment to the Department of Defense Authorization Act requiring congressional approval of any agreement between the U.S. and Iraq making commitments related to Iraq’s security. ...

"If prior review and approval is good enough for the Iraqi Parliament, it is essential for the Congress," said Lee.

That's good news. But I'm starting to doubt that the U.S. and Iraq will agree on anything, so it might be moot.
