...Maliki's Shi'ite and Kurdish allies backed the pact, which requires that U.S troops redeploy out of Iraqi towns and cities to bases in the countryside by June of next year, and completely withdraw by the end of 2011.

The Department of Defense had printed public affairs guidance for how the military should answer press queries about the redeployment. There were victory parades being planned.
